I can tell you with certainty that there is as much relief that it is over as there is sadness that it is over. RIP Marty and may God bless your family and friends.?

Terrible sad news, 

   T

7 years of beating Alzheimer from the age of 70? That's another WIN nobody can take back Coach Shot'z... ? Prayers, our friend ..  

"There's a gleam men." Best HC in Browns recent era (Super Bowl). He got screwed a lot during his career, including with the Browns.

Thank you for being our coach.  You were one of the good ones!  God Bless his soul, as well as his family and friends.

Damn it.  But knew it was coming when they put him in hospice.

Fyi,  I had a client once.  He had to put his wife in a nursing home for her Alzheimer's,  but  she lived for like another  15-20 years even though she was totally non-cognitiant .  He was devoted to her....but he actually died first.  But then some die right away, like Marty here.  I wasn't sure which would be the case with him.  Now we know. 

It's wild, dementia and Alzheimer's is actually similar to HIV and AIDS in that some people, for reasons currently unknown, simply do not go past a certain stage of the disease. In fact, all the current research  is going into exactly how they "cured" HIV and other diseases like Parkinson's, in that they believe they can soon essentially prevent the disease from progressing and allow folks to live with the milder symptoms.
