He told his Jackie, that they should go home, he couldn't take on those financial burdens or put his family through that. They went to a hospital in Lodi California near Stockton. Shortly after returning home, Lee's condition grew worse but he insisted that he would be okay.  He wrestled through the Saturday, laying around the house trying to weather his condition then coming out of the restroom requested that Jackie and his family call 911. Seconds later he fell to his bed, began coughing up foam and phlem, began perspiring profusely, swelled tremendously and died at home in the presence of his Jackie will she tried to give him mouth to mouth and his inlaws tried to administer CPR.  10 minutes later the paramedics arrived and Lee was long gone.  We loss our Captain, our Baseball Bill Cosby, our Eddie Murphy in the dugout, Our Derek Jeter at shortstop, our Guerrero at the Plate, a bright bright light and bodacius fun loving baseball brother loved by so many cause he didn't have Health Insurance.  Please Mr. President do something for Lee Bruner, do something for his family, his young son who doesn't understand what has happened or his Jackie who has loss her way with the loss of Lee and do something for our Captian and our brother.  You are the President and our Brother's keeper.Sincerely,Keith Hodges and Pirates Men Senior Baseball Team of Stockton Valley NABA.916 4171848Kghpoems@att.netFor the love and Honor of:Lee Bruner.Sent on the Now Network™ from my Sprint® BlackBerry@cisco.com>@att.net>
