"I am someone who has always taken pride in staying in shape and working out almost on a daily basis," he said in a Stow Sentry story. "I thought I was in the best shape possible, and discovering that I was not invulnerable to such a disease as cancer was devastating; however, one thing I did learn was that there is help available and that you do not have to face this alone."
