    W3MIV, Albert J. Schramm, SK

    I just got off the phone with Albi's wife Barbra.

    Albi became suddenly ill on Thanksgiving, and was admitted to the hospital on Monday, 12 Dec.
    He died of a very aggressive form of cancer yesterday, 16 Dec, 2011, at 1130.

    He wished to be cremated, without funeral or viewing, but Barbra will be arranging for a memorial service in January. I left her my email and phone so that she can send obituary/memorial details at her convenience.

    Requiescat in Pace

    That makes several of us.

    Albi was what I would term a statesman. I could sense something wasn't right with him but attributed it to frustration with the electorate...never thought of medical implications.

    He'll definitely be missed, fiery penmanship and all. :(

    Damn damn damn damn. I am bereft.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    God I loved that man. I am crying as I write this. We didn't always agree on everything but he was always respectful of me and one of my most outspoken supporters. He was a wonderful man and I will miss his wit, his candor and his wisdom. What a sad day. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in Peace, Albi. I never met you in person but I will always remember you.

    Shit. What rotten fuckin news. I never figured this is why he was AWOL. I never met Albi, but I will truly miss him. Rest In Peace OM.
