LONGMONT, Colo. â Music has brought a Longmont family closer than ever, even as one person continues his fight against cancer â alone â in the hospital during the pandemic.
George Florentine and his wife Susan Bockhoff, who live in Longmont, said after a long, stressful summer and fall, they re looking forward to Christmas.
Florentine, 62, spent part of August and much of September in the hospital, recuperating from a staph infection, and his third bone marrow transplant.
