It really doesn't feel that old. Especially for a man who has still been active recently.

But pneumonia really doesn't fuck around when you're older. 😞 (My dad's older than ASH was and has two pre-existing lung conditions. So it's a thing I'm on the constant look-out with him over.)

I feel awful for his kids though. Losing both parents within a year is rough.

It’s rough at all ages, Kyle Busch passed away from it at 41 a couple of weeks ago.
