In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Men of the House Podcast, host Richard Craft shares the story of becoming a 24/7 live-in caregiver for CDR Winfred Leon Buckingham, USN — a 97-year-old veteran with no one left to care for him. As the holidays passed without family visits, Richard stepped in to ensure the Commander wouldn’t face his final days alone. This episode explores what it truly means to show up for another human being, the silent epidemic of dying in isolation, and how one act of compassion can inspire a movement to ensure no one dies unseen.

🎧 Listen now and learn how presence, not perfection, can change a life — and maybe a death.
