<< Having leukemia certainly didn't help! His voice was never the same after the disease. But I give him tremendous credit for managing to survive and come back at all after such a ravaging illness. >>
i hate to say it but, i think getting sick kept him from making it worse. he was singing all these roles that require bigger, brighter voices and was killing himself doing it. after recovering from his illness, he seemed to have given up on trying to keep up with the 'big boys'. however, a lot of the damage had been done and i would agree that being ill probably took too much out of him in order to have any hopes of trying to recover what he once had (which, probably wasn't likely anyway).
