Obituary
It is with the greatest of sadness, that I inform you of the sudden passing of Dick Henschel on Saturday evening, October 3, 2015.
Eight months ago, Dick discovered that he had cancer...specifically Mantle Cell Lymphoma, which originates in the lymphatic system. This particular form is a very rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. There are only 11,000 cases of this in the US.
Dick entered treatment at Walnut Creek Hospital six months ago and recently symptoms showed up which led to the suspension of that treatment and the investigation of other therapies. Saturday he became very ill and he was rushed to the hospital. Doctors discovered he had a massive abdominal infection resulting in sepsis, a life-threatening response which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death. Sadly he passed very quickly and peacefully with Vicky holding his hand.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized, but will be shared as soon as they are available.
