Horrible disease. Speaking from personal experience, ALS and Alzheimers are just torture and heartbreaking to see someone you love or admire go through. And now we are losing the experience of seeing and hearing Marcia Ball ever again to this fucking disease. 

Prayers for her and her loved ones. This sucks.

Shit that sucks. She’s super nice. Gordon is great too - he was telling us one night at dinner how fast he went through the chili money once he sold it.

Godspeed Marcia.

a college girlfriend of mine; her dad was this short, wiry Italian guy...completely full of shit (in a good way), with a hot italian temper, kind heart, etc. Avid golfer, great dad.

He came down with ALS.  I cannot imagine a bigger mismatch between man and affliction.  his passing was a blessing to all that knew him, because seeing him in that condition was difficult.

One of my closest cousins’ husband died of ALS a few years ago. That dude was an incredible guy. Horrific disease.

I see Marcia is 76. Isn’t that quite a bit later in life than normal for ALS diagnosis. Seems most men get it in their 50’s.
