Kurt has been a long time dear friend of mine, and has been one of the greatest men I have known. I regret to inform you after a very long battle with cancer, he is tired and coming to the end of his life.
Many will not know him, but he was one of the very first members of Allied Forces.com before we became MGAF. He is a MGAFer as well, but became too ill to be apart of this forum.
I have received an email from his wife ....
This is Kurt's wife Virginia here. Kurt showed me this list of contacts and told me that when the time came, these would be the ones to notify. Although Kurt hasn't made his transition yet, it is expected to be very soon. He is surrounded by his family and he is in his own home being kept comfortable and pain free. I feel blessed that I am able to abide by his wishes. This is what he wanted, someone to offer support and comfort to me, which I have and for him to die in his own bed. He took a sudden sharp turn for the worse last week and has had a steady decline since then. He fought a brave fight and he was tired.
Respectfully,
Virginia Gerber
Here's to us and those like us. Damn few. And they're all dead.
