Default Bad news today.
For decades, I said that no male blood relative of mine had lived to see his 71st birthday in AT LEAST three generations, and I'm pretty sure it was 4. Well, in 2019, my cousin "Kenny" celebrated his 71st birthday, and broke the streak. We were all saying "Go Kenny! Go Kenny!"

Unfortunately, Kenny passed away last night at the age of 74. He was a good dude, and he will be missed.

I have a friend who has the same story, but the age is 58. Heart related stuff. Goes back many generations. He's 57 this year. Big, strapping, strong guy, too. And funny as hell.
RIP to ' Kenny'.

My Dad lived to be 70, he was the oldest in the recent generations. My Grandfathers were gone at 28 and 52.

That's kind of the sad part. Kenny's Father was not a blood relative of mine (Kenny's Mom is my Dad's Sister), and lived to be 92. Even with that leg up, he still didn't make it far past 71
