I knew Dave when he worked at the US embassy in Vientiane. When he went back to the VA Hospital in San Antonio they called back to Vientiane and told the embassy to get his wife back ASAP as he had about a week to live. She missed him by about 1/2 a day.. He had a very close friend in San Antonio who helped his wife take care of things and settle Dave's estate. The last I talked with him via e-mail in 2008, he told me Dave's wife had moved to DC and had petitioned for resident status. He told me she was working at the Fort Myers PX and had found a "friend" to take care of her. Unfortunately, I don't have the name of Dave's friend...
