84, definitely a high risk patient and not surprising he couldn't beat it. Was transferred to St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham last week. Thought he was doing better early this week, then everything started shutting down.
He was mayor for 35 or 36 years and was planning on retiring in January. Never lost a local election.
If you have ever stopped off to get Peach ice cream or a sandwich at Peach Park on your way to or from the beach on I-65, you were in his town. He's been a very popular Mayor his entire life.
Rest in peace, Mayor.
