  Members and Friends of SVCS:

  From Coline MacLean we receive this information:

  Al Wromke passed away today. He had lung cancer. He only lasted two
  weeks after the detection and most of that was spent in a catatonic
  state. He died at the Veterans hospital in Palo Alto. Very sad.

  Al returned to Silicon Valley from El Paso in June. He was trying it get
  re-established and did not seem to be in ill health. He had lost lots of
  weight but said he had been dieting and exercising. During the last
  three weeks the complaints of joint pain and the inability to sleep
  started. He went to the VA center in Palo Alto with little
  satisfaction. Al was then hospitalized.

  Within a few days, the bad news of renal dysfunction, lung cancer and
  God knows what else. They immediately told him to get his affairs in
  order, which knowing AL, as we do, know that getting anything in order
  was not Al’s strong suit. Al’s relatives were called, almost too late as
  AL didn’t want them called. It as a wonderful experience for all of them.

  AL’s body is being shipped back home to NJ, where the family will have
  a service on Friday and bury him next to his parents.

  He was a good person. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone and
  he would give you the shirt off his back or anything he had if you
  needed it. He was always on the outlook for opportunities for his
  friends and he was constantly creating wild business opportunities,
  which benefited mostly other people. The world is a lesser place
  without him.
