Hi, I'm Diane, Jack's cousin and best friend. Sadly, I want to let you know about Jack's situation. John (Jack) Castor, 67 years old, has been fighting serious health battles for the past 22 years. Four strokes, kidney cancer, COPD, and seizures, to name a few. He has managed to bounce back from each catastrophic illness until now. He has literally amazed doctors with his determination to get better. We call him IRONMAN. This man brings joy to the world. His smile, big heart, and determination to LIVE have inspired all of us. But, I'm sorry to say, John is not able to bounce back from his deteriorating condition. He and his partner of 38 years, Ron, have truly used all of their resources for John's daily care and medical needs.

He has now been put in hospice and time is not on his side. Besides dealing with the love of his life, Ron is now also trying to deal with additional medical bills and burial expenses. At this point, there is no money left to take care of these expenses. Ron is very proud and would be devastated asking for financial help, but he desperately needs and deserves help. Whatever you can do to financially help them at this worst time of their life would be greatly appreciated. Their LOVE is amazing. I hope they can just focus on that and not on how they are going to pay for all their expenses.

If it's not asking too much, please share this GoFundMe with your friends, family, and colleagues. My sincere thanks for whatever help you can provide. More information to follow.
