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.
