He is only 66.

Geaton, given his hard hitting style and the era, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a postmortem cte diagnosis.

For his and his family's sake I'm hoping it is "only" dementia and not CTE.

Wow, just watched the speech. I wouldn’t have really have guessed that anything was wrong until he mentions his diagnosis at the end.

I encourage everyone with a similar diagnosis in their family to watch the video including his appearing on stage. Showtiming ability clearly remains even after a dementia diagnosis, itself requiring at least a stage 5 progression.
