I don't normally forward this kind of email to lists, but especially for 
those of  you in the Madison WI area, this may be noteworthy if you know 
this person.

Hi, All! This article comes from Jeanie and me! We both received it.

This is an off topic discussion for some groups, but since many of our 
friends who are blind have purchased from Roger Behm, I feel this 
announcement needs to be passed along to all since permission has been 
granted.

Folks, I know many of you know Roger, and will be as shocked and saddened by 
this news as I am. Please pray for Roger. I just received a phone call from 
Joann Jeray who asked that I share this information with everyone. Roger 
Behm has been in the hospital with intestinal issues. During a colonoscopy 
several years ago, there were intestinal tears that the doctors did not see 
at the time. The tears healed and left scar tissue. Roger has been in pain 
lately and when he was admitted to the hospital they discovered that the 
scar tissue from these earlier tears had ripped the intestine and fecal 
matter was going back into his system. He was moved to St. Mary's Hospital 
in Madison where they thought they could do a colostomy, but it was 
determined that would not work. Roger is 59 years old and has a wife, 
Theresa, and 5 children, one of whom is an adopted girl who is visually 
impaired. Roger will be moved to hospice care at St. Mary's Hospital in 
Madison and he has asked that the plug be pulled this weekend. He is asking 
for anyone who knows him to stop by the hospital. He wants to say 
"good-bye". Joann relayed that sometimes Roger is coherent and sometimes not 
as he is on many medications. Roger is dedicated to helping so many people 
in his career and always went above and beyond. I hope many of you can make 
it to St. Mary's to grant him his wish.
