My first thought also. A great uncle complained of emphysema from a very young age but outlived his entire generation, and there were a lot of them. Makes me wonder if emphysema was the only COD. My cardiologist would ask if there was also some heart disease, perhaps unrelated to smoking.
May we pause in our, as Unclemick puts it in a very different context today, "snits people get into on forums."
As the Irish say, "Johnny, I hardly knew ya." Sad day.
