May have been kidney.

They spent time lots of time together, including with out of town family. (They met in college, 60? years ago.)

Thanksgiving will be sad, as they spent that time together; his friend and wife entertained and cooked.

My friend just bought a tree for his yard (in DC suburb.)

Time is the big thing.
