[TheForge] Bill Fiorini very poor health

[Roger Degner]

I revived the below message from his wife


Kirsten Skiles6:12am Jun 2nd
Bill was in the hospital being treated for a very serious nocardia infection
in his right lung and thyroid. He was recovering slowly, but definitely
showing progress. Very early Wednesday morning he had a massive stroke on
the right side of his brain. Even if he did survive and recover, he would
not have anything close to the life and function that he wanted.

We've decided to choose comfort care only and inpatient hospice care. Please
feel free to let his old friends know. I don't have the energy to look up
names and numbers. I would prefer not to get a lot of calls right now
please.

Bill wanted to be cremated and was adamantly against a wake and funeral.
Finances permitting, Bill's older daughter Danielle and I would like to plan
a memorial party (or hammer in?) back in La Crosse later in the summer. 

He's resting peacefully in hospice right now. I'll let you know how things
go.
