RIP Stan Mikita

#1 Post by Pastor Fireball » Wed Aug 08, 2018 7:10 am

Beloved hockey star who played nearly 22 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Age 78, after a three-year battle with Lewy body dementia (a relative of Parkinson's disease).

I'm very sorry to hear about this. An old classmate of mine, who's now a neurologist, told me once that Lewy body dementia is the worst diagnosis she has to deliver with any frequency. --Bob
