Sad to read this, he was a great character in Band of Brothers and seeing the real Bill Guarnere along with the other remaining survivors in the series was very interesting.

Glad that he got to enjoy a life after the brutal experience of WWII.

Canada is like a really nice apartment over a meth lab.
