Re: [FRIAM] Hywel

[Dean Gerber]

 Hi Frank,
That is very sad news indeed.  Sadder yet his isolation toward the end, away 
from people who might have cared for him and enjoyed his company, even in a 
facility.  I enjoyed those years when we met with him, and tried to get him to 
understand or even sympathize a little with the mathematical point. of view.  
No luck there, but I found the challenge very interesting, as an applied 
mathematician would of a brilliant and cantankerous old experimental physicist. 
 A Welshman to boot, he loved Dylan Thomas, and could recite him at length with 
the same brogue.
In the end his angry and insulting out bursts became too much for what I was 
getting out the experience, considering what I was getting from others.  I 
always admired you patience with him.  I bet tennis helped!
Thanks for letting me know. Please inform me of any memorial or some such.
Regards ...
Dean

Frank, 

 

Thanks so much for being our intermediary in this.  

 

I cannot imagine FRIAM without him.  

 

I thought for sure he would outlive me.

This e-mail is to update people that we have been in touch with during the past 
couple of weeks.

 

It is with sadness that Christopher and I share the news that Hywel passed away 
peacefully earlier this morning at home.  

 

Hywel had a wonderful Father’s Day, sharing it with much of his family and some 
friends who stopped by.  We hadn’t seen him smile so much in quite some time 
(you can see pictures on his Facebook page). It was a real treat!

 

Unfortunately, he had a fall early Monday morning and fell into a coma that 
day.  Although he was resting comfortably in his bed over the last few days, he 
was not responsive.  We were told it was just a matter of time, and, at just 
before 8 o’clock this morning, he passed away peacefully.  We are sure that he 
is in a better place and has joined Frances to be together again.

 

Many of Hywel’s immediate family were able to visit with him in the past few 
weeks and we would all like to thank everyone for your kind wishes and support. 
 Although losing someone close is never easy, we rest more comfortably knowing 
that given the situation, this is what Hywel wanted and he probably couldn’t 
have scripted his departure more to his liking.

 

After we have a little more time to regroup, we will likely send out a more 
formal notice of Hywel’s passing but we wanted to share news in a timelier 
fashion with many of you.  Please feel free to circulate this to others whose 
e-mails we do not have and we will be in touch.

 

Thanks again, Rich/Chris

 

PS – don’t forget his Facebook page where people are sharing some of their very 
nice thoughts.

As almost all of you know, Hywel has been struggling with lung cancer and
is very weak.  He has little to no appetite and has lost a fair amount of
weight.  He also tends to sleep a lot but can still communicate with
visitors in whispers.  He does still recognize people and generally enjoys
short visits on occasion.  Special alert though:  Hywel has not become more
talkative with age!  



Rather than try to keep folks updated on Hywel’s status via intermittent
e-mails, Chris and I have resurrected Hywel’s Facebook page and will
provide updated posts from time to time https://www.facebook.com/hywel.white
.  If any of you would like to “Friend” Hywel, please do and we will accept
for him.  We’re are hoping this is the best technological solution to use.



Thanks in advance for everyone’s support.  We will be sending another
e-mail to family and overseas contacts (to limit size) but please feel free
to share this with other people as you would like.
