He was a brilliant man. First person in my family to get a doctorate and worked at the University of Michigan. But god, he had it rough. The doctors never bothered repairing the extensive damage done to his body, particularly his hands, so they healed wrong and he was only able to use three fingers on one hand, and just his thumb on the other. Then later on, he had to deal with a terrible wife, and after that, a downright psychotic caregiver who embezzled ten thousand dollars from him and fled to Canada.
