A mere, what, 15 months after he went into hospice care?

[Joey Russ 7,220]

I think often the non cancer related hospices last a lot longer than people expect. Though even the cancer hospice names can last a while (see Joey Feek as a prime example) 

[gcreptile 10,964]

Hehe yes, but maybe it was "only" in-house hospice care or whatever... the obit just says he's had health issues for a decade. I am kind of curious to know what he had though.

[Joey Russ 7,220]

Possible that Crouch is a Covid fatality?

Saxophonist Barbara Thompson appeared in an episode of 24 Hours in A&E. The title is self-explanatory; you have to be in quite bad nick to make the cut. She is the widow of Jon Hiseman and suffers from Parkinson's.

Interesting to know, and sad. Still partly paralyzed by two strokes.
