	Report Comment Ayo, T-Town (7/29/2009 12:02:36 PM) Oh, this sounds like an unfortanate, and sad case.
	Report Comment Okie1948, Tulsa (7/29/2009 6:00:54 PM) This was an argument between Coy and his 2 stepdaughters over the care he was giving their mother.
	Report Comment LostboyfromKS, Tulsa (7/29/2009 1:12:16 PM) "Tate was confined to the Talihina Veterans Center until competent." If he's not competent now at 87, I doubt he ever will be. It's only down hill for him!
	Report Comment Paperjunkie#1, (7/29/2009 1:01:55 PM) probably a dispute over the estate
