1959 is the wrong birth year (1969), obviously. 

Anyway, he was a sweet guy. A few months after we stopped dating, he showed up at my workplace (summer of 1999) wanting to date again, but I had met someone else (who I later married). I didn't recognize him because he looked like he'd lost 200 pounds. He said it was from diabetes; my knowledge of T2D caused me alarm. We talked then parted ways.

 Recently, I had been wondering about him, and it saddens me to find out he has passed.
