0:00.0	Bill was a 55-year-old accountant, father of three boys, fun-loving, super nice guy, loved his wife, and had a great calm life.
0:16.8	He was fine for the most part of his life. He had good health. He managed to see his primary
0:22.4	care physician once a year for a checkup and took a couple of medications for his back pain and
