paramedic

educator and former police officer, W. Blum. passed

away last night in his sleep due to causes unknown. is

survived by his wife, . They resided in the San , TX,

area.

No further details are available at this time - the family is still

very much in shock.

worked for various agencies in Texas, including as part of a

drug interdiction task force in the Corpus Christi / coastal texas

area (Angleton, etc.) many years ago. He maintained his paramedic

licensure and was a coordinator.

I had dinner with last weekend. I spoke with him on the phone

Mike,

At times like this ones word do nothing so all I'll say is I am truly sorry for

the loss of your fellow Medic and obvious friend.

Whatever differences we may have over time and any petty disagreements that

occur between men and women in the course of life are nothing when compared to

such losses.

Again sympathies to all who knew and loved .

So many times on this list and others, we formulate our opinions of one and

other, simply by words that we see typed on a screen without regard to the

thoughts and passions behind the person typing them. Too many times here, we

associate disagreement with apathy, opposing opinions with lack of knowledge

and lack of response to submission.

It's a shame that one of us has to leave this group permanently for us to

realize that as Lou said, the differences are generally petty. I include

myself in that group as well so there are lessons to be learned. Having just

lost an old and dear friend from the Live Oak County area, I know the

emptiness that is unexplainable and the loss of words.

Just the rantings of an old pathetic medic who is pondering his own

existence.

I cannot come up with words to describe my shock.

I've known for nearly 10 years, and worked at several agencies with

him. Although we didn't always see eye-to-eye on everything, we were always

friends. If either of us had needed help, the other would have been there.

He was a talented Paramedic, and excellent educator.

I haven't seen in quite some time, but we emailed back and forth

quite often, and chatted on the phone as often as we could. I was supposed

to call him the next time I went to San , so we could " do lunch " . He

said it was my turn this time, but I wasn't too sure.

My prayers go out to , and all of ' family, friends and

colleagues.

Goodbye my friend. Although I an deeply saddened by your passing, I am

comforted by the knowledge that you are at peace, and that one day we will

meet again.
