SPUG: Marty Cudmore is Gravely Ill

[Tim Maher/CONSULTIX]

SPUGsters,

Marty Cudmore is one of the "founding members" of SPUG, and was a
frequent speaker and enthusiastic participant at our early meetings. 
He won an award for his user-submitted paper at the 1998 Perl
Conference, and presented a talk on it at one of our meetings.  He
likes to quote SouthPark characters, uses a cane, and walks with a
limp (to help you remember him).

I've just heard that he is gravely ill, and not expected to recover.
(Complications between his normal medical regime and the flu, from
what I can gather.)  Those wishing to visit him should do so soon (as
detailed below).

I'm sure I speak for all SPUGsters in wishing Marty all the best, and
thanking him for his help in making SPUG what it is today.

-Tim
P.S. In the message below, the "Brook" being referred to is his wife.

Tim,
   I wasn't sure if you had heard about Marty.  If not, details are below.

> As  you are all aware, per our conversations yesterday, it does not appear that Marty will recover. The results of an EEG(may be wrong on the acronymn) shows he has  severe brain damage. At this point it appears Brook and Marty's parents need to make a decision on when to pull the ventilator, which will cause Marty to die.
> 
> Brook has said that people may come to visit, if they wish, but should would like them to come early this week, Monday or probably Tuesday at the latest. She doesn't want people to see him as his condition worsens, as he is already starting to breathe erratically and have seizures.
> 
> The number at the hospital is 425-899-2300. Ask for the Cudmore room. I also have Brooks cell number and will give that out to those who ask.
> 
> Please feel free to forward this note on.
