Seems like a generation of great hockey minds are coming to this (Stan Mikita is in rough shape too, according to reports)...but what a great idea for letters.

Loved the isles team. He was one of my fav coaches. I wish him all the best

It's sad to see all these legends from my youth (Stan Mikita and Al Arbour) experiencing dementia issues. I echo Matty's thoughts above and wish both gentlemen the best.

As Dash mentioned above, Stan Mikita is also suffering. Here is a Chicago Tribune story

For Stan Mikita, all the Blackhawks memories are now gone - Chicago Tribune

Dementia comes up in my family also. You can't read these things without shedding a few tears.
