JiePie was a very hard worker and always provided everything for his loving family. He then had many years of poor health but always pulled through his illnesses... He was a true fighter. JiePie’s MSA progressed fast and robbed him of the ability to speak, swallow, stand, walk – in fact, to do most of the things we all take for granted. As with all sufferers, it left his intellect untouched: it was very hard to watch him as he suffered the creeping and irreversible loss of his independence and dignity, knowing that he understood everything that was happening and was anticipating what the future held. MSA is very cruel.... JiePie was a treasure to all and he never held a grudge against anyone and had an open door policy, you were always welcome at his house at anytime!! JiePie Loved Everybody!! There is so much to say about this special man but I would be here forever. I love you
