As those who know me personally are aware, I’ve been fighting Stage 4 cancer the last al
most 5 years.
While the labs had shown some success with the most recent treatments, thing went south really quickly last weekend. As I told Joe, it returned while quaffing a few cold crews and a couple of Red Bulls along the way.
I entered hospice care yesterday. I’m not sure how much time I have left, it could be a few days, it could be longer. My partner will let Joe know of my passing.
I am comfortable and lucid and probably will be until my passing.
A couple of things that are important to me:
1) Please don’t reply until this makes the main page (pretty sure it will).
2) Both myself and partner (she) are well off financially. If you want to remember me, there’s a couple of charities that you can donate to, but it is absolutely not necessary. I’ll list those soon.
You need to do this on your own. I know that there are a couple of you with good intentions, but please do not substitute what you think is right for my wishes.
I apologize in advance if I sound harsh about this, but I need to be clear in the most unambiguous terms possible.
