10469. judithathome - 11/7/2012 12:13:28 AM I have info about Pelle from a fellow poster on my forum:
I know that many of us posted on Pelle Nillson's International board.
I received a note from his wife today that Pelle died of Cancer in early June. It was heartbreaking. Pelle was a fine, intelligent and humorous man and we have missed him on his board.
If anyone would like his address to send a card or letter or flowers to Christina, let me know. 10470. judithathome - 11/7/2012 12:26:57 AM Here is his wife's email:
I regret that I have awful news. This email came today from Pelle's wife.
Dear Michael,
Thank you very much for the letter you sent to my loved husband Pelle. I received it yesterday. I feel so sad, and it is so difficult for me to tell you that Pelle he passed away on the 8 th of June. I can not understand how my life will continue without him. We have been married for almost 44 years. I do not know if Pelle ever mentioned for you about his cancer. Everything went so fast for him. On the 15 th of March 2012 he went through a major surgery. He removed a tumor from his spine, which made him unable to walk. He was admitted to hospital for 20 days. He came home and was so full of hope to recover and happy to be back in our home. Pelle has always been so mentally strong and he was training hard at home to try to walk. He was able to walk with a Beta support (I do not know the name in english). We where so happy.
In the beginning of May he started radiation therapy. After a few treatments his larynx was so damaged. He was put in a respirator. After that he never recovered. I was beside him when he died. His mind was so clear till his last breath.
It is very difficult for me to go on whithout him. He was my loved husband and my tutor.My life will be so bored without him.
Please send my best regards to Erwin. His book is on the top of Pelles writing- table. Till now I am not in mood or able to remove anything.
Michael I feel good that you sent your letter. Warm regards, from me Pelles wife.
Christina
10471. arkymalarky - 11/7/2012 12:34:40 AM Oh how sad! I loved Pelle and it was so obvious how devoted to each other he and his wife were. 10472. robertjayb - 11/7/2012 12:38:11 AM Sad. He seemed a bright inquisitive man who enjoyed his life. He had a chainsaw. 10473. judithathome - 11/7/2012 12:44:43 AM If anyone is on Perfect World, perhaps you might want to let them know.... 10474. iiibbb - 11/7/2012 1:14:45 AM Bummer 10475. concerned - 11/7/2012 1:33:58 AM I'm sorry to hear that about Pelle. He was one of the exceptional Mote posters. 10476. judithathome - 11/7/2012 3:13:18 AM He was the guy who taught me that things CalGal said were unimportant in the whole scheme of things...I will be forever grateful for his advice. 10477. anomie - 11/7/2012 3:29:32 AM So sorry to hear about Pelle. Thanks for the info, Judith. 10478. alistairconnor - 11/7/2012 3:33:33 AM Oh, I've lost a fried. I've often thought of him, and regretted losing touch.
I feel I'd like to write to Christina. 10479. judithathome - 11/7/2012 3:42:14 AM I have her address...send me an email and I'll send it to you... 10480. judithathome - 11/7/2012 3:43:03 AM Or contact Wabbit or Arky...I gave then her address. 10481. judithathome - 11/7/2012 3:43:55 AM then = them 10482. arkymalarky - 11/7/2012 3:44:05 AM I guess he knew when he popped in a while back. I wish we'd known what he was going through. Just so the rest of you know, I've been a part of this forum a long time and I do love you all. 10483. judithathome - 11/7/2012 3:50:18 AM I'm a little upset because I know he knew what I was going through and we could have both offered one another...if not support...at the very least a sense of comraderie...support, even anger....I just feel such a sense of loss and sadness.
Not trying to make this about me...just feeling so sad and forlorn.
A great loss...such a great loss. 10484. wabbit - 11/7/2012 3:05:17 PM I am so sorry to hear this sad news about Pelle. Judith, thank you for letting us know. 10485. PsychProf - 11/7/2012 7:33:07 PM Thanks Judith. 10486. judithathome - 11/9/2012 7:47:57 PM If anyone goes to CalGal's place, please let them know. 10487. judithathome - 11/9/2012 10:08:30 PM Breaking news: resignation letter from CIA director David Petreaus...another high ranking official who couldn't keep it in his pants.
I'm sure the Right will say it is over Benghazi but HE says it is because after 30 years of marriage, he has had an affair with another woman. 10488. Wombat - 11/12/2012 4:55:39 AM Judith,
Could you send me contact information for Pelle's wife? Arky knows how to reach me.
Whenever I reread the archived threads, I realize how great it was to have Pelle as an online friend, mentor, and collaborator. I missed him when he moved on from the Mote, and now that he's dead, I'll miss him that much more.
