Man he was one of my idol.
As soon as I saw this thread I went to see if it wasn't a bad joke and found this right away...

A very close friend of my family was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was horrible to see how fast his condition faded.

It's been a fair amount of time since he announced his condition...and we don't know (do we?) how long before that he was diagnosed. But yea, lung cancer in a smoker can be real aggressive for sure. Killed my grandmother in a matter of months.
