At least that's the story i was told.

BW is a great guy and i was shocked to hear about this when it happened as he was relatively young but i'm glad he's doing well now!
Is this the same guy who was a MEM DC-9 check airman? If so he was a great guy; really friendly and outgoing. I always enjoyed flying with him. I heard a rumor that he had heart trouble and was no longer flying but never heard the details.
