He remained in good spirits however until the Sat. nite before his death when his lungs filled up. They had a lot of Drs. working on him and he rallied enought to say goodby to Clara. She went home to her sisters and they called her at 4 in the morning to say that he was gone. Only Lester ramains." 4)He had diabetes. RG Tripp.
