    Participant passed on

    I learned today that LKahn of Optical Chemicals has passed on. Several months ago he was attacked while on a business trip and had been slowly recovering. Unforunately, he did not survive.

    My condolences as well. But are we sure this is the right person. From the notice in the paper it says passed away on April 27, but his last Optiboard post was on May 10th. In addition, wasn't he based out of Florida not Pittsburgh?

    Either he posted from the "other side" or he is still alive.

    WTF??!! Ok I need to find out if this is true or not!! If you have ever had the opportunity to talk with him on the phone it's a lot of fun and he's a great guy who always gave good advice. I hope and pray that this is just not true!

    Spoke to family

    I spoke to his wife. They want to sell all the chemical formulas for tints, coatings, chemicals and everything else except for LensArmor products. The family can be reached at mco327@yahoo.com

    Seriously!?! I was hoping this was some sort of mix up! Where is his co-worker Richard? This is like a punch to the stomach!

    How awful...

    I hope the perp is caught and justice is served.

    More importantly I hope the family finds peace and healing.

    I never had the privilege . . .

    of talking to him, but you could tell from his posts on here that he had a generous spirit. My condolences to his family. We have lost a good one!!
    Days where my gratitude exceed my expectations are very good days!

    This is a shock and awful news. Although I am confused about how he could have died on 4/27 and have posted on this site on 5/11 (unless the post was from one of his family members using his OB account?).

    I extend my sympathy and sorrow to his family and friends. :(

    The obit from Pittsburgh is just a coincidence not our LKahn.
