I just lost my uncle to this earlier this year. He was only 62. Horrible disease.

My dad is 61 and was the star of a silver alert a couple weeks ago. He had a stroke two years ago and has frontal lobe damage because of it. Never smoked or drank his entire life and this is what he gets after retirement.

Dementia usually seems to rob the otherwise healthy. Horrible disease

Dementia is very hard on the loved ones, as well. 67 is young these days.
