Last Monday the
world lost a great man and I lost the most wonderful friend I have ever had,
Alan Caruba.
Alan had a great
many fans and admirers of his work, his writings and opinions, and many of them
have been contacting me regarding services for Alan, wishing to pay their last
respects and so forth.
I talked to Alan’s
lawyer at 2:15PM Texas time and was informed that Alan had specified his wishes
that in the event of his death he wanted his body to be cremated and he wanted
there to be NO services.
There were no other
instructions, not one word regarding his ashes.
A couple of weeks
ago Alan was admitted to the hospital and underwent what was, in Alan’s
opinion, a bit of surgery to fix a slightly torn intestine that was due to
diverticulitis.
Last week I talked
to Alan several times, I was worried about him and how weak he sounded and when
I called on Monday his lawyer answered the phone and advised me that Alan had
passed.
Today I was able to
talk at some length with the attorney and he gave me the information on Alan’s
wishes. He also gave me the details of Alan’s death.
It appears that
Alan fell and struck something causing him to bleed profusely and it appears
that he couldn’t get up but was trying to make his way to the bathroom. That is
where he died.
He was DOWN with NO
HELP but Alan Caruba was a fighter until the very end. I would have expected no
less.
Rest in Peace my
friend, you ARE loved and missed!
