Raymond Cassick - Loosing his battle with brain cancer
-
Hello, I am sending out this message to people who have had contact with Ray Cassick over the years. This is Joanne his wife. This is just a newsletter to let you know why he has not responded. He wanted me to send something out to all of his contacts. I am not sure if you know this, but Raymond has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. The technical name for his cancer is Glioblastoma Multiforme. Raymond was diagnosed in November 2009, and went for more than a year without debilitating symptoms. The chemo and radiation managed to keep the tumor from progressing. In late March 2011, the tumor began to progress. He is left unable to write e-mails and talk well. He is home on permanent disability, and we expect that we will need hospice in the upcoming months. We are working with the doctors to try to slow it down, but the outcome is not positive. A little about him. He was diagnosed in November 2009. At the time he was completing his Master's degree. He had a week break from school, underwent a brain biopsy, then completed his degree in December of 2009. Not one missed class day! The push for his Master's degree was that he wanted to teach in a college setting. The teaching bug struck over the years when he did corporate technical training. He then taught the summer of 2010 at Bryant & Stratton. Teaching was such a wonderful gift for him to pass knowledge to his students. In the interim while undergoing radiation and chemotherapy, he continued to work full time. He worked tirelessly at his work, as well as being very supportive at home. He really did sleep little, and worked hard. He also loved working as a software architect, because it fit into his project management skills. He has made arrangements to donate his body to the University at Buffalo so that medical student can continue to learn from him. His only request of people is that they continue to learn, no matter what their age. He has taken care of his family so well, that we do not need anything. Although he is still alive, he is not what he used be. He is constantly tired, and has trouble communicating. He often tries to log into his computer and read e-mail, but usually asks for someone to read it to him. He also answers the phone, but then has to hand it to someone else, or tell the caller to call me. His only concern is that he is doing enough for those that he knew, and help others any way he can. He has two sayings posted on his wall. "Life is not always what you make of it, but more about w

Thanks Joanne. You obviously put a lot of work into that posting, and communicated a lot about your husband. I wish him well, and you, he and the rest of your family are in my thoughts. My grandfather is dying of Stomach/Pancreatic cancer, so I have some idea of what you are going through. Although my grandfather is a lot older, and it seems so cruel that Ray be struck down in his peak, having struggled to get the things he set out to do. What you wrote was very touching, and Ihope that Ray is aware of how much you obviously love him. Thanks for taking the time to inform us all.

Ray's been a part of The Code Project community almost from the beginning so I'm upset to hear of the battles he, yourself and your family are facing but incredibly grateful to have him part of our motley bunch, and especially thankful to you, as I'm sure all of us are, for sharing the news in such a personal and touching manner. Let Ray know we're thinking of him, and please keep us up to date on how things shape up. Buffalo isn't that far from CodeProject central so please let us know if there's anything we can do. Our thoughts with you and Ray, Joanne.

I'm very sorry to hear that. And thank you for updating us all on his status. Just to share one of my fond memories of Ray, he posted a while back about the DHL / DSL incident with his mom. He gave me a chuckle and an opening to respond with inappropriate innuendo (one of my favorite activities). Thanks for the good times, Ray. :rose:

Thank you for the update, Joanne. I've missed Ray hereabouts, and since he let us know early on about his condition, I wondered if it had progressed. Having lost my stepfather a few years ago to the same ailment, I have some knowledge of what probably lies ahead, and I know how it tears at such a vigorous, intelligent man to be so constrained. Give him my best regards, and my thoughts and prayers will be with you both.:rose:

Hello, I am sending out this message to people who have had contact with Ray Cassick over the years. This is Joanne his wife. This is just a newsletter to let you know why he has not responded. He wanted me to send something out to all of his contacts. I am not sure if you know this, but Raymond has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. The technical name for his cancer is Glioblastoma Multiforme. Raymond was diagnosed in November 2009, and went for more than a year without debilitating symptoms. The chemo and radiation managed to keep the tumor from progressing. In late March 2011, the tumor began to progress. He is left unable to write e-mails and talk well. He is home on permanent disability, and we expect that we will need hospice in the upcoming months. We are working with the doctors to try to slow it down, but the outcome is not positive. A little about him. He was diagnosed in November 2009. At the time he was completing his Master's degree. He had a week break from school, underwent a brain biopsy, then completed his degree in December of 2009. Not one missed class day! The push for his Master's degree was that he wanted to teach in a college setting. The teaching bug struck over the years when he did corporate technical training. He then taught the summer of 2010 at Bryant & Stratton. Teaching was such a wonderful gift for him to pass knowledge to his students. In the interim while undergoing radiation and chemotherapy, he continued to work full time. He worked tirelessly at his work, as well as being very supportive at home. He really did sleep little, and worked hard. He also loved working as a software architect, because it fit into his project management skills. He has made arrangements to donate his body to the University at Buffalo so that medical student can continue to learn from him.

This is very upsetting. Please tell Ray that we'll all be thinking of him. It's amazing how he's ensured that his responsibilities are taken care of, and his family won't be needing any help. He's a great man, and he's someone we could all learn from. I hope he puts on a hell of a fight with this ungodly disease. Please keep us all posted. :rose:
