Hello Friends,
Richard Oehm from Oehm Electronics here. I'm posting this message to
clear up any misconceptions. I'm still alive, but the very sad news is
that my wife Marilyn passed away in the hospital this past Tuesday
(June 23, 2020). Unfortunately, Marilyn's health has been slowly but
steadily declining for the past few years.
I really miss her terribly. I have this habit of throwing myself into
work that has to be done to escape painful things. So for the last few
days, I work some, cry a little and then try to get some more work
done. Marilyn's daughters and the rest of my family and friends have
been so supportive and concerned about me, it's truly amazing. I know
that at the moment Marilyn passed on the best twenty six years of my
life also ended. During the time I was married to Marilyn I knew for
absolute certain that I was the most richly blessed person in all the
world. I'm still very richly blessed with wonderful and supportive
friends and family and I still have much to do and I must carry on.
However, I sincerely feel that the most incredible and wonderful
chapter of my life has concluded. Of course, I still have at least a
few more chapters to write before my mortal life here has ended, and I
will do my best to make the life I have left meaningful, productive,
purposeful and fulfilling. I have learned so very much during my
marriage to Marilyn and she brought me immeasurable love, joy and
fulfillment. I have always been a very self confident person and have
always had a very positive self image. However, the many lessons I've
learned from Marilyn during our marriage have improved my
understanding and appreciation of life and I like who I am and the
person I've become much more because of all that I've learned from
Marilyn. She really has polished my rough edges, broadened my
prospective and made me a better person. Being married to Marilyn was
the very best blessing I've ever received, and I've always been a very
richly blessed and very fortunate person.
I will continue to repair Optacons and other vintage access technology.
Although, I might not get too much of this work done for the next two
or so weeks. I'm going to have to make some major adjustments in the
next week or so. This includes putting together a small commemorative
funeral service to be held on this upcoming July 7, 2020. This outdoor
event has to be small so it complies with Covit 19 restrictions. I'm
still a very richly blessed and very fortunate person and I must carry
on. If I didn't, so very many wonderful people and Marilyn would be
terribly disappointed with me.
Thanks for all of the condolences and concern. Though it's very
challenging right now for me to feel much enthusiasm, I will get
through this and continue to be of service to all of you. Thanks for
your time and patience reading this long posting.
Best Regards to all,
Richard Oehm
