In Memoriam>Good news [Lonewolf Ed]
Lonewolf Ed 04:51 PM 01-24-2015
I thought I'd start a new thread for updates on my cancer treatments and whatever else is going on, since the bad news thread title is misleading now.

My last treatment went better than the previous two and my chest wound is still closed up, which is a good thing. My arm is getting slightly stronger and I hope to resume lifting dumbbells next week. I need to build up my strength again, because I am going back to Denmark in May and I am extremely pumped about that! I'd like to be able to schlepp my own checked bag and not have someone else lifting it for me.

It's going to be a fabulous trip, 6 weeks and a couple of days for me. My brother is going along as well as my friends Chipp and Rod. Chipp is staying close to 3 weeks and has not gone with me over there since 2006 so he is also very pumped to be going. It will be Rod's first trip and he will be there for 2 weeks. I will get to be a tour guide. Also, I am throwing a party in my favorite pub of all, the wonderful, ever-magnificent Irish House in Aalborg on May 7th. The owner and I are friends and he will give me a little discount. We'll have Irish stew and brews in the cellar and I hope to have around 25 family and friends there. I might bill it as the "Fu** Cancer Party." A few months back, I was not sure I'd ever be able to go over to Denmark again or if I'd even be alive, but the cancer hasn't gotten me yet. I'm doing a number on it, instead.

Some other cool things I plan to do when I am back in my ancestral lands include a wine tasting in a castle, touring another castle and the northernmost manor home in the country, and visiting Skagen, the top of Denmark, where you can stand on a little patch of beach and have one foot in one sea and one in another. They also have a brewpub up there I am wanting to check out. I will start and end my trip in Aalborg and spend 5 weeks in an apartment I rent that is very close to the beach. I can hardly wait for May 4th to roll around!

My only ask if people choose to attend is to "be cool." I'm not THAT worried about it, but I know we have some...interesting personalities...around here. If anyone chooses to go, either leave the family alone or keep anything you say very brief. From an outsider's perspective, "random guy on the internet" isn't exactly a close friend, and Ed tended to keep his family private for the most part.

He mentioned doing chores for his elderly parents early in this thread. And I believe he had a sibling but I don't remember if brother or sister. He wasn't married.

Good to know he had someone. Hopefully his elderly parents were not relying on him.

He had a brother and elderly parents he took care of. No significant other or children.

1. If you live within 20-30 miles it should be easy to attend for 20 minutes as respect to a great guy.

2. If someone printed out all the responses and kind words from the day we found that Lonewolf Ed passed and presented it to someone in his family, that would make a HUGE impact.

3. I would assume that his family and friends would be grateful and deeply humbled that people who never met Ed felt moved enough to attend.

That's my .02 worth and I would easily attend if I was within 30 minutes.

Maybe a group of CP'ers who are interested in going can all meet up and show up wearing RED ties as a tribute to Ed.

You'd have to be careful about printing the whole thread. Definitely some posts that shouldn't be in that stack.

You did see I said AFTER we found he passed, that's maybe 6-7 pages out of 160
