Rolf Wessman
It is with great sadness that I report that our member and brother, Rolf Wessman, is in the final stage of his courageous life. He is currently in Memorial Hospital's Intensive Care Unit. Yesterday, in the presence of his wife, daughter and friends, a decision was made to let Rolf pass peacefully and with dignity. My understanding is that he is currently on sufficient life support to maintain his vital organs for donation.
We will arrange a celebration of Rolf's life in the very near future. His wife, Ann, is receptive to and welcomes this idea. This will give us the opportunity to share our love of Rolf and his amazing life and accomplishments. We'll report these arrangements to all.
We all know that Rolf is an amazing human being, a great Rotarian and a lion of strength and will power. He will be forever missed.
Rolf passed at 7:00 this evening, 10/22. The donation of relevant organs was made to the ALS research center at UCLA. The doctor I (Paul) spoke to there was very grateful and said that his gift would keep researchers in sufficient tissue for three to four years.
