Should have seen this coming, wasn't it just yesterday that we heard he deteriorated badly?

He was placed in Hospice care yesterday. It was only a matter of time. Pete went to visit him recently while he was in poor health and they had a long chat. Pete apologized personally to Sparky for betting and some other things. They both had a lot of respect for each other.
