In the case of Mr. Curtis, Denis is on the money: Flip phone for the win.
When his daughter, Wendy, and I met for lunch we talked about trying to introduce him to some older iPads, etc. we both have available. She just smiled.
When I was there yesterday there was a young lady that has just started his welcome interview, she was very good and I sat out in the hall listening.
I found out a lot of things about him just listening: He likes western movies for one. Wendy and I are looking into how to make that work.
This is not my first cancer rodeo, both my parents succumbed to cancer, the Emperor of All Malady's.
He is a man of stalwart Catholic faith, like my Mother, which guides me a little bit; Wendy is as well, which also helps. I am not so my wife and Wendy bonded like a nuclear weld.
Mr. Curtis is a man I admire. My goal is to simply help as he and his family would like me too, as unobtrusively as possible.
He gave me a look yesterday that was very reminiscent of the look my Father gave me when he was fighting cancer: Two proud, smart, kind men that know exactly where they are and despise the circumstance and their lack of control over it.
So, thank you all for a card or letter to him...he is funny so use me as a foil
