I suspect what they meant was that people that fit your demographic often die...defeated the odds you did...my stepmother did the same...and my ex to a lesser degree...brain aneurysm...
My stepmother died last year at the age of 94...beyotchin' at my dad to the very end.
What else that is interesting when I first saw him in videos, I thought I knew him. I had gone to school with a couple of brothers named Greer that looked very much like him...so I couldn't decide for a good while until I heard more of his biography....
Not to mention the Steve Greer I knew was more like 5'5" in high school, not 6'5" ...
