Nick DeWolf dies of stroke, prostate cancer

[Guest guest]

Sadly --

DeWolf, inventor, computer expert and philosopher, died

Sunday April 12 in a hospital in Aspen, CO age 77 of

complications from a stroke and prostate cancer.

Chad Abraham in the Aspen Times, April 17 called DeWolf

" an extraordinary and exuberant spirit of Aspen whose work in

the semiconductor field paved the way for today’s computer

industry. "

Nick DeWolf was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1996. On a

website he created that year, PROSTATE CANCER meets PROTON BEAM!

A Patient’s Experiences, he wrote: “Hmm… Age 68, PSA=12, Gleason

Score=7, Stage B1. Determined not to die of Prostate cancer,

hoping to preserve sexuality. What to do, where to go?? ”

After thoroughly researching treatments available at the time,

talking to doctors and to patients and considering effects of

hormonal blockade on male sexuality, DeWolf opted for Proton

beam radiation at Loma .
