“ We tried to help, but he was a very proud man. I remember one time I came by and he was shoveling snow in his driveway. I said, “You really shouldn’t be doing this,” and I wanted to take the shovel. He wouldn’t let me. Rarely have I seen him so determined. At one point he allowed us to have suppers cooked and brought over but by then he was really quite incapacitated.
