[RndTbl] Mike Pfaiffer

[Robert Dyck]

Mike has cirrhosis of the liver. Ironic since he never touched a drop of
alcohol in his life. In fact, he got ill at the very scent of alcohol.
When I volunteered with him, if I used isopropyl alcohol to clean a
computer, he had to leave the room until the alcohol cleared. It turned
out that was a symptom of cirrhosis of the liver.
 
Doctors looked at a rare inherited condition. Last time I exchanged
email with him, they hadn't confirmed the source cause. By the time they
figured out it was cirrhosis, it was acute. He was too ill to volunteer.
His doctors tried to get him a liver transplant, but that was too late.
Before they could arrange the operation, he died.
 
His online obituary.

I still miss Mike.

Robert,
 
I met Mike at the U of Manitoba. I just found out that he passed away.
Mike was a good friend but we have not talked in years.
He was such a healthy guy. Do you know what he passed away from?
