The original Mr. Fandy stopped working as a hardware program specialist in 2001..he used the excuse that most of his clients were in the towers at the WTC....he moved in with his mother because he decided it was better than repairing his own roof and bathroom, using the excuse that his father had just passed away from cancer. I'm sure that Tess (his mama) was glad to have company rattling around in a 5 bedroom house with an acre of lawn and a big driveway...(his own house had developed raccoons in the attic and plumbing needing replaced)....this man (who i divorced in 1986) was still ranting about the divorce 23 years later...and drinking a quart of Stolys every day, smoking dope and never exercising....he lost his health insurance benefits, shot up to 350 lbs. and never went back to work....he came from $$$, had another home on the beach which he thorughly enjoyed (down the beach about 10 miles from the famous JShore home).

October 2009, Tess found her eldest son dead in his childhood room, he was 55...he had been complaining of leg heaviness...I don't know his COD of course but I am thinking a DVT worked it's way up to his evil little heart and stopped it.....all I thought about when I heard the news is that I no longer had to "worry" that he could make good on his threat to cut my brake linings. His younger brother made some dramatic statements to me via email after the funeral???? my only contact with them the last few years was to request that they all stay away from my mother's recent funeral...(for some reason, this enraged all of them, they are a large group of coconuts)...LMF (little miss fandy) is our only child and she stays in touch with his family....she is now 30

I never had ill will to my MIL but feel so sad that she had to find him....no parent should ever have to bury their child.
