Yes I know people say we lose them every day, but it is close to the 
heart when it is someone you know personally. My good friend Lewis is 
very ill, maybe I have mentioned Nortex Electronics..

Lewis started that Fort Worth business many years ago, after he got out 
of the Navy. He is an old-school electronics man, worked on everything 
from early dive bomber radars to the magnetic amplifiers that rotated 
huge gun turrets.

Now he is in a nursing home for rehabilitation, since he fell several 
times due to refusing to use his walker. He has always been fiercely 
independent. I am sorry to say I think his time is coming. In a perverse 
way, I am glad to hear that he said he is tired now and doesn't care 
much if he goes soon. See, he is a real man. He does not whine or 
complain. He has been very very miserable due to suffering ill health 
for the last couple years, I know this personally, but he won't admit 
it. I don't know what will happen, but he will never be back to the 
store, he's just too weak after falling and breaking his tailbone, and 
he is in alot of pain. So please keep in our prayers my friend Lewis, 
that he does get better, and this honorable and proud veteran does not 
suffer indignities.

A hearty Salute, Lewis.  May you RIP.
