bsshog40 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) There is a thread ATS that David W Lange's cancer has slowed him down considerably and another that says he passed. Is this our notable DW Lange here? Soo sorry to hear this if so. Edited October 23, 2022 by bsshog40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Coinbuf Posted October 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 Yes the thread ats is about Mr. Lange here at NGC, I think the member ats that mentioned his passing was a misunderstanding and more as a question. Best wishes to Mr. Lange and his family as he battles with cancer, I have never had the pleasure of meeting him in person but have always thought of him as a true gentleman, and amazing numismatist. I was hesitant to post this here but as it has now come up, this is from an email on the ANA advisory board that was posted ats: "My communication ability is limited by illness for now, My breast cancer has progressed to where it's affecting my brain. I'm unlikely to respond to most message, so please let my friends know that I'm otherwise viable and will be around for awhile. Share with anyone outside the company for now." Dave, David W.

Popular Post MarkFeld Posted October 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 Posted a short time ago by “Shamika” on the PCGS forum: “i just got off the phone with Dave. As he said, news of his demise have been greatly exaggerated although his health is still a major concern. He said he has closed his eBay store and is discontinuing much/all of his writing (including email) until his health improves. I'm certainly praying for him.” Fenntucky Mike, bsshog40, Ali E. and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oldhoopster Posted October 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2022 Ive been battling stage 4 Colon cancer for the last year. The chemo side effects can be much worse than the cancer. I really hope Dave's problems are chemo related and not due to the cancer spreading. At least with chemo, you have a chance, but the side effects really hurt the quality of life Dave, wish you all the best with my prayers. I think I know what your going through and I know it's difficult. Be strong and fight this the best that you can. zadok, Rod D., Hoghead515 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
