The wife of a man who died after being diagnosed with COVID-19 says her husband did everything he could to avoid catching it and couldn’t fight it off when he did.
Noble Gullacher, 69, was a diabetic who was waiting for a kidney transplant. “He was trying to stay as healthy as he could,” Kathleen Gullacher said in an interview Monday. “He was always very careful. “If a kidney came up, then he wanted to be ready for it, because he knew that was the only way he would ever feel good again.” He never got the chance.
The Regina man died Friday in hospital. Known to his friends and family as Butch, Gullacher was a father to two boys and a grandfather to their three children.
