I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew – And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod The high untresspassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Thomas Hales Please donate in the name of Thomas Hales, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found. Thomas E. Hales, 83, passed away peacefully surrounded by his wife of 60 years and the love of his life, Alice Marie (“Power”) Hales, his six children and his grandchildren, on Thursday, October 8, 2020 in Baltimore, Maryland. He was born on October 15, 1936 in North Tarrytown, NY to the late William H. Hales & Phyllis E. Hales. He was also predeceased by his younger brother, William H. Hales, Jr. “Red” on September 25, 1959. He was well known in Westchester and Rockland Counties and beyond and had a deep sense of commitment to community. Tom never met a stranger and greeted everyone with his “million-dollar smile”. Wherever he went he happened upon someone he knew. Mr. Hales graduated from Iona College (cum laude) in 1958 and obtained a Master’s in Business Administration from Pace University in 1996. He served in the US Army Signal Corp. He was employed by Price Waterhouse & Co from 1958 to 1963 where he became a Certified Public Accountant. Subsequently he founded Thomas E Hales & Co., a regional accounting firm for 17 years, before he sold it to help in turning around businesses for C. Pappas & Co., of Boston, Massachusetts. There he became the CEO of Image Maker, a photo finishing company, and Town & Country Liquors, the second largest wholesaler in Massachusetts. He joined Union State Bank in 1980, making an investment in USB to help the troubled bank. Under his leadership, Union State Bank grew from $23 million in assets to over $3 billion in assets by 2007. During that time, USB became listed on the New York Stock Exchange. USB was sold to KeyBank in 2007 while he was suffering from the debilitating disease of Pulmonary Fibrosis. The sale was consummated just after he received the gift of life on November 1, 2007 when he underwent a life saving double lung transplant that gave him almost thirteen years of additional life. It was our “miracle”. Left to cherish Tom’s memory are his wife Alice Marie, his six children, Lianne (Sean), William, Carolyn (Bruce), Thomas Jr. (Jennifer), Terence (Ryan) and Allison (Donald), his sister Phyllis Weaver, sisters-in-law Virginia Power, Joan Power and Helene (Honey) Bieliewcz (deceased) along with his more than 34 dear first cousins, whom he cherished. He was the “extremely proud” grandfather of nine grandchildren: Robert Shaw, Michael Shaw, Thomas Wilson, Christopher Hales Wilson, Nicholas Wilson, Thomas Hales III, William Hales, Teagan Hales and Althea Marie Gheen. Mr. & Mrs. Hales were compassionate philanthropists who contributed to numerous organizations. He was committed to community causes. He received the prestigious Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 2003 (which recognizes exceptional humanitarian efforts and outstanding contributions to our nation), the William Cullen Bryant Award from the Westchester Medical Center for distinguished leadership in 2008, the John F. Heimerdinger lifetime of service award from Westchester Medical Center in 2017, the Corporate Citizen Award from the Boys and Girls Clubs of New Rochelle and was honored by numerous other non-profits and community organizations. He received Westchester County Business Journal’s Business Leader of the Year Award in 2004. He served on the Board of Trustees of Iona College since 1995, New York Medical College, Nyack Hospital, New York State Independent Bankers, New York State Bankers Association, Independent Bankers of America, Kirschman Corp., Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, Leukemia Society of America, Dominican Sisters Family Health Service, Knights of Columbus, and the Westchester County Association. He was a Board Member Emeritus of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, where he was instrumental in the growth of the organization. He helped establish the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital and Trauma Center at the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, provided major support for the Thomas E. and Alice M. Hales Endoscopy Unit and the Alice Marie and Thomas E. Hales Pediatric Treatment Area of the Emergency Department at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center. The PFF Walk NYC was started in his honor by his son, Terence Hales who founded and faithfully organized this event which is now in its 14th year and has raised over $1 million dollars for the PFF. As the grateful recipient of a double-lung transplant in 2007, he was also an avid supporter of Donate Life and advocated for opt-out organ donation in New York State. Forever grateful to University of Maryland Medical Center and specifically his doctors, Aldo T. Iacono and Bartley C. Griffith, he established in perpetuity the Thomas E. and Alice Marie Hales Distinguished Professorship in Transplant Surgery which is held by Bartley P. Griffith, MD. True to form, he became well known around UMMC which he frequented over many years. He came to know and love many of the kind, compassionate and inspiring healthcare workers who helped him extend his journey, to which he was eternally thankful. The Hales are ardent supporters for organ donation.On April 29, 2017 Tom and Alice proudly dedicated an Iona College Residence Hall the “Alice Marie and Thomas E. Hales Hall” or “Hales Hall” through a philanthropic gift to his alma mater. Tom was admired and loved by all and will be remembered as a person who loved his family, and they loved him. He made the world a better place. He was a fighter who extended his life by almost 13 years post-lung transplant, exceeding all odds. He never gave up. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Tom’s name may be made directly to: University of Maryland Medical Center, Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, Iona College, Phelps Memorial Hospital Center, Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital and Donate Life NY.

Judith A. (Judie) Stevenson, 79, passed away at Banner Baywood Hospital in Mesa, Az on June 22, 2021 from complications of pulmonary fibrosis. Judie was diagnosed sometime in the late 1990s with both lupus and sjogren’s syndrome. Both of these diseases are autoimmune diseases. The doctors believe that either of these two diseases could have been the cause of her PF, but they are not 100% sure. She was on medication to effectively control both diseases. Judie was originally diagnosed with PF in 2007. Her pulmonologist immediately put her on twice daily treatments with a nebulizer machine, which converts prescribed medication into mist to help clear the airways. She continued with this treatment for the next 7 years. In 2014 Judie’s blood oxygen levels started to decrease and her doctor indicated she should start supplemental oxygen treatments. He also indicated that moving to a lower elevation might be a good substitute. At that time we lived in Prescott, Az. We decided to move to Florence, Az which is 4100 feet lower in elevation. That really worked, as she could now go for walks in the neighborhood which she couldn’t do before without breathing issues. Because of the move, a new pulmonologist had to be found. She looked at Judie’s records and thought the diagnosis was wrong. The average life expectancy for someone diagnosed with PF is 4 to 7 years. She retested Judie and concluded the diagnosis was correct and she indeed had PF. The doctor told Judie you are an anomaly. In other words, you are here, but statistically you shouldn’t be. She continued with the twice daily nebulizer machine treatments. In June 2019 Judie was diagnosed with valley fever, which is an airborne fungus that affects the lungs and is primarily found in southwest desert states. She continued treatment for valley fever until February 2020. At that time it was determined to be under control. However, in January 2021 a new CT scan showed it had reemerged and she was put on a new medication. In April 2021 Judie’s blood oxygen levels were starting to decrease again and she was hospitalized to stabilize her oxygen levels and was put on supplemental oxygen upon discharge. In early June 2021 her blood oxygen levels were getting worse and the pulmonologist ordered more exhaustive tests, which resulted in a diagnosis of norcardia, which is also a fungus that affects the lungs and she was put on a new medication. Two weeks later, after her blood oxygen levels continued to deteriorate, she was admitted to Banner Baywood Hospital, where she passed away on June 22, 2021. Judie was a beautiful person, both inside and out, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her and loved her. This narrative about Judie’s journey with pulmonary fibrosis will hopefully give everyone an idea how devastating this progressIve disease can be, especially in the later stages Our hope is that any contribution to the PF Foundation will help find better treatments that will ultimately cure this disease.

In Loving Memory of Hasmita Patel of Atlanta, GA who sadly passed away at the age of 61. Hasmita was born in Kampala, Uganda and raised in London, United Kingdom. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Mukesh (Mike); children: Ayesha and Rishi; as well as numerous relatives and friends in the United States, United Kingdom, Fiji, and Australia.

Bhagwan Nathumal Karnani Bhagwan Nathumal Karnani was an amazing man. He was one of seven children and grew up to be an electrical engineer. Later on, he decided to become a teacher. Bhagwan worked very hard, progressed in his career and did well in life. Over the years, his health started to hold him back. And in July of 2018, he was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis The disease progressed very rapidly, soon requiring him to need oxygen 24 hours a day – destroying his way of life. In the last few years of his life, he could not walk 20 feet without gasping for breath and would have coughing bouts that were so strong he would turn blue in the face. Throughout his life Bhagwan bestowed a love of learning and education, striving for a better future. Inspired by the life he led and the passion of his family to make an impact for the future of those living with pulmonary fibrosis we hope you’ll join in honoring Bhagwan’s life.

Byron Acuff We are raising awareness and funds for the mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. As many of you know, Byron suffered from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a fatal disease that causes scarring of the lungs, which robs the IPF patient the ability to breathe and has a 3-5 year life expectancy. Byron fought a long and hard battle against this disease with humor, strength, and courage. He lost his battle on Sunday, August 24, 2014. We love you and miss you, Pap!

Sudha Parekh of Weston, Florida, passed away peacefully on the 29th of September in 2008, from complications arising from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). She was surrounded by her family during her last moments. Sudha was born on July 24th, 1937 in Rajkot India to Sarla and Ratilal Kamani. She grew up in Rajkot, married Ramesh Parekh of Nairobi, Kenya, and moved to Kenya at the age of 20. There, she gave birth to her daughter Neeta and her son Asheet (Ken). After spending over a decade in East Africa, Sudha and her family moved to Canada, where her third child, Anjou, was born. Warm weather brought them to Miami, Florida in 1972, and Sudha and Ramesh called South Florida their home ever since that day. Sudha is remembered dearly for her liveliness, musical talent, and beauty. She attended nearly every joyous occasion in her community, loved yoga and traveling, and illuminated every space with her beautiful voice and positive energy. In a poem dedicated to her mother, Anjou wrote, “Words do not suffice…for how can pen on paper capture the essence of your being? The lightness in your smile, the music in your eyes, you are…wisdom, laughter, grace.” Sudha is survived by her children, Neeta, Ken, and Anjou; her sons-in-law, Sunil and Siddhartha; her daughter-in-law Sonia; her grandchildren, Sejal, Sachin, Karina, Shivani, Rahul, Devan, and Dylan; her sister, Bhanuben; and her brothers, Bakul, Pankaj, and Naynesh. She is together in spirit with her brothers Ashwin and Prafull, and her husband Ramesh.

Geeta Aroon Mankad, 75, of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania passed away on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 with her family by her side after a prolonged battle with pulmonary fibrosis. It would be wrong to say that Geeta lost her battle with pulmonary fibrosis because she remained strong and never stopped fighting. No matter the challenge, she was determined to live her life on her terms and to the fullest extent – she traveled the world, and most recently completed the Chardham Yatra and visited Pashupathinath Temple in Nepal (over 11,000 feet in elevation) to fulfill her religious aspiration and lifelong dream of visiting all of the 12 holiest Hindu sites devoted to Lord Shiva. The place where she was most at peace was at the Dattatreya Mandir in Nareshwar, to which she would visit on every trip to India. It is by her example that we learned what resilience, perseverance and kindness truly look like. She was officially diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis almost 10 years ago. She fought bravely and outlived the normal prognosis of 3-5 years. Unfortunately, pulmonary fibrosis has no cure and there are very limited treatment options available for patients with this disease. To celebrate her life and legacy - we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF). A donation to PFF will help to raise awareness, provide money for research and support for families managing this disease. If you have other causes to support, consider this a reminder to make that donation. Thank you for your love, support and thoughtfulness. If you have any questions please contact Jake Meding at jmeding@pulmonaryfibrosis.org or (312)854-2627
