To members of the DTR we regret to inform you of Nowel Thomas’s (HVAC) untimely passing this evening. As many of you knew from our other thread Nowel had a major brain hemorrhage that occurred on his left side of the brain that caused paralysis of his right side and also impaired his speech and finally left him in a coma. Nowel was on a ventilator and while in a coma the hemorrhage continued to spread to the right half of his brain. Due to his critical state, the doctors were reluctant to operate and he was put into a wait and see situation. Nowel’s condition continued to deteriorate today upon further testing it was determined that there was no brain function and was clinically pronounced deceased as of this late this evening.

At this time we are in the process of making arrangements for his services to take place in Half Moon Bay California in the near future. Details of this will follow within the next few days. We ask that if any of you wish to donate to Nowel’s trust fund, that this money would be used for his expenses.

If any of you have recently or know someone who has done business with Nowel and have not received your order and have paid for your order we ask that you contact Mike Crossley at MCrossle@Pacbell.net with a electronic copy of your proof of purchase and these orders will be resolved as soon as possible; we ask for your patience and understanding in this matter as we have a great deal of his affairs to attend to.

Any vendors that were doing business with Nowel we ask that you contact Mike Crossley, Blair Pine or Chris Sutton as we are assisting Nowel’s sister in closing these matters.

We would like to convey Nowel’s sister Leanne’s thanks, love, and appreciation for all of the support that those of you have given. She will have a copy of all related threads in her possession. Again thank you and I am sorry for bearing such sad news.

My wife and I are saddened that this happened to such a well-liked individual. Although I did not personally know him, it is a great loss.
He is now in a place with never ending torque and horsepower.
