The following message concerning Dan Rowe was sent to a number of us by
Danny's son - Bill. I asked Bill and he concurred with my distributing
this to the ListServ.
Dan Rowe was President of AOPA in 1977/1978. Danny was an outstanding
and long term contributor to the O&P community over a long number of
years - a true professional and a true gentleman in every respect.
While he has not been around many of the meetings in later years, he was
always mentioned in the most positive of ways in our Past President
meetings - and of course over the gatherings around the bar.
Bill, and to the rest of your family, I want you to know that your dad
was greatly loved and respected by virtually everyone in the field
during his active years.
Hello every one,
Bill Rowe here.
I just wanted to send a note out about my dad (Dan Rowe). I got his
address
list from his computer e-mail account. I recognize a lot of you folks on
the
list here and quite a few that I don't know.
Most of you know what has been happening with dad. But for those that
maybe
don't know I will fill you in. Dad was diagnosed with Alziemers's and
over
the last year it has gotten more and more progressive.
With out going into a lot of detail here are is where we are as of
today.
Today is Sunday Oct 12 and on Thursday, Oct 2nd, Evie had decided it was
time to have some professional help and have him stay at a Memory Care
Center. So Dad is now living at Comforts of Home. It is a brand new
facility in Maplewood, Mn. It is a very nice place and Evie, Loretta,
and
Dad had taken a tour of it not that long ago and settled on that for
when
the time came.
This was not an easy decision for Evie to make but she has the love and
support of all of us kids. None of us are really excited about him being
there but at the same time realize that at the stage of the disease he
is
at, we could not provide the care he needs. We all knew it was coming
and it
was as difficult for us as it is for him. My brother Larry, and sister
Loretta, have been very helpful. They have been there through it all. As
have the rest of us, but from a distance.
Any way, we wanted to let every one know where he is staying. He has had
a
bit of a rough time with the transition. Although that was not
unexpected.
So here is his address and phone number. It would be nice for him to
hear
familiar voices from friends. So if you could find the time, give him a
call
or write him a letter. I know he wold enjoy hearing from you.
