From Ed Kufeldt
Fellow VMO-6 Members,
If you have not been informed, Bob Kowalk is extremely sick. He has an aggressive melanoma skin cancer which has spread to his brain, lungs and adrenal gland. He has gone through numerous surgeries, Cat Scans, MRIs, and rounds of chemo. In an email of Dec. 12, his wife Carol stated that Bob is constantly in pain, doesn't eat, and is on morphine. Bob is at home in a hospital bed in their living room and Hospice is now in attendance and helping. Carol asks that we keep Bob in our prayers. I would suggest we also keep Carol and their family in our thoughts and prayers.
The operations, treatments, and hospital care have been very expensive and they need financial help. Carol and friends of the family are sponsoring a spaghetti dinner on Dec. 15 at the Singara Grotto Hall from 5:00 - 8:00 in Sandusky, OH to raise funds. Knowing that most of us cannot attend, a "Kowalk Benefit Fund" has been established and I'm asking your assistance. Please be generous in helping Bob and Carol. Send contributions to the Fund at 2509 S. Campbell St., Sandusky, OH 44870, which is also the Kowalk's address. They do accept phone calls at 419-626-8245 and their email is B49J@aol.com. Below is a picture of Bob taken after his first round of chemo.
Thanks for your support .
