Hello from SW WI, my name is Galen Govier and I just signed up to this site.

Awful mean spirited to post a crack/put-down referencing cancer...directed at a guy who lost his wife to cancer.

Just sayin'
I agree. It was entirely accidental. I was trying to emphasize that he isn't some legendary hero, just a man.
I did go back and edit the sentence.
I have no personal experience with the man so I'd have no cause to be so vindictive. I do apologize for any hurt feelings that I may have caused.
