A note from stanhemi

(FIH) The Don · Aug 31, 2010

nada

but i have an idea

what if someone living in the area spend some hours going to his adress/city, asked a bit around and maybe get some more info?

DannibusX · Aug 31, 2010

I've been following this thread for quite some time, and I regret not having a machine to dedicate to crunching for Stan, but I keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Which is really weird considering he's a complete stranger, but I am merely human and as such I have compassion.

My grandfather died for pancreatic cancer in 1989, it devistated me as a young boy.

I hope you're doing okay, Stan.

@don

Anybody local?

@dannibus
Sorry about your loss bro, thanks for sharing it on here :toast:

I have no car, and the only 2 addresses for a Stanley Lalonde near me are way to far for me to go there... and I cant seem to find an appropriate phone number..

any help regarding a phone number would be great, I would try to call

ex:

"Hi, I am looking for a Stanley Lalonde?"\
"Yes this is he"
"would you, by any chance, be a member of techpowerup forums?"
"wth is that?"
"nvm" *hangs up*

xD

Guys, any update on Stan?

(FIH) The Don · Sep 16, 2010

nope.

and im gonna be pessimistic and say R.I.P Stanhemi

i may not have known you irl or in here.

but from what i can read and alone from this thread you must have been one hell of a guy :toast:

i hope you have found your peace now, and that you are in a better place, no one deserves to go through what you've done, or atleast not the good guys, which is always the ones to get hit

i really hope that you have survived this shit and are sitting on a nice beach with a drink in your hand and enjoying life,

but....since we have heard nothing from you or your sister i will assume the worst, the other guys may not agreee with me, but someone has to say it.

so this is from me/us to you

iv thought of it for the past 2 weeks. I was going to say something maybe passively...but I couldnt get around to forming my post correctly.

R.I.P Stan. You will be forever missed.

n-ster · Sep 16, 2010

I'm not gonna accept this.... Cancer needs a long treatment, and tech forums aren't the first place you are during these times.... I prefer hope for the best, I won`t lose hope right away

Chicken Patty · Sep 16, 2010

I'd like to agree with n-ster on this one, but it's really starting to worry me.

Mindweaver · Sep 16, 2010

Sometimes no news is good news!

n-ster · Sep 16, 2010

He isn't exactly the easiest to find xD there are 3 million other people in my area where he could be right now xD

Chicken Patty · Sep 16, 2010

Ugggh, it's killing me, I just want to know what happened whether good or bad. Hopefully it's not bad but if it happened I want to know, this suspense is kicking my butt!

++++1

That's what I've been thinking all along. Perhaps Stan is going through a tough period of treatment which will make him get better. In cancer treatment often the end justifies the means, and the treatment which ultimately cures might make the person feel very bad in the meantime..

Our prayers are with you Stan :respect:

qubit · Sep 16, 2010

Man, I hope Stan's ok. Like others here, I hate not knowing either.

n-ster · Sep 16, 2010

One thing I have learned with my family, is that you can never escape time... sometimes, news comes too fast when you are not ready for it, and sometimes it doesn't come, even if you are ready.... ya just gotta think of other stuff, positive stuff, for everyone's sake

Radical_Edward · Sep 16, 2010

I'm hoping he's doing alright, didn't he say his sister would contact us if things went bad?

Yeah he did, but at least I have not been contacted by anyone regarding him.

n-ster · Sep 17, 2010

tbh, if I were his sister, I would have long forgotten about TPU... she's probably by his side helping him fight

Well he said if something happened, if they are still fighting it then nothing has happened yet...

there ya go!

and the longer you fight, the more chance you have of winning
