Sorry o hear and condolences 🙏

A machinist I used in Calif had gotten and beat cancer 4 or 5 times. Last I knew he was still going and retired in 2020.
Somewhat ironically he also was into the marine side of things. He always wiped his hands with a shop towel sprayed with carb cleaner back in the day. Often wondered if it was the chemical exposure that caused his cancers.
