Terrible news from Barry Smith’s Facebook page: On May 20, 5 days before his 73rd birthday, Barry Windsor-Smith suffered an Ischemic Stroke. He spent 8 days in ICU and some weeks in rehabilitation. He has been released from the hospital and is slowly recovering at his home in NY.

Terrible to hear. The concept of strokes terrify me. I want no part of that as I age.

Same here. One of my grandfathers passed away as a result of having a few strokes, it still gives me nightmares to remember the way he was toward the end.
