He never really retired. He's 18 months older than me and I retired 4 1/2 years ago. He waited until he got his state pension last year, at 65, before going part time. Did part time for 4 months then went off sick and everything went downhill from there.Terrible news. Another good reason for taking early retirement if you can. Too many people retire only to not live long enough to enjoy that time.
There's a lesson to be learned here folks.
