Jack in he latter years had respiratory ailments. LA was a pretty ****ty
choice air quality wise for one who suffered as he did. 96 is a pretty
long life though. Who knows if he had lived somewhere with cleaner air
like Honolulu how much longer he would have lived. I think LA is number 1
or 2 worst polluted cities.

I used to live in the LA area in the 1970s. Every 4 or 5 days I had
to clean a film off my car windows. After I moved to a rural farm
area in the Southeast, I didn't have to do that any more.
