Frederick Q Vogel Please donate in the name of Frederick Q Vogel, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found. Captain Frederick Quirin Vogel passed away at home in Point Pleasant, NJ, with his family by his side on January 27, 2020; his valiant battle with pulmonary fibrosis over. Fred was born a Leo on August 11, 1947, in Plainfield, NJ, to the late Anne and Robert Vogel. Raised in Cranford, NJ, Freddy attended Cranford HS where he excelled in sports, especially his favorite, baseball. Fred continued to play baseball at Gettysburg College, graduating in 1969. There, he forged a true fraternity with his Sigma Chi brothers. They remained fast friends; the stories getting better every telling. Fred also married his college sweetheart, Barb, in 1969. Last November, they celebrated 50 wonderful years together; a love story that inspired all who know them. He enlisted in the US Navy after college and served in Naval Intelligence at Clark AFB in the Philippines where he and Barb acquired a love for scuba diving. On return to the US, he was selected for Navy Officer Candidate School and went on to serve 34 years including time in the Naval Reserves, reaching the officer rank of Captain. He was recalled to active duty in Washington, D.C. during the 1990’s middle east conflicts and after 9/11, served at the Defense Intelligence Agency, FBI, NSA, Homeland Security and the Pentagon. At retirement, he was Deputy Director for Intelligence at DIA, Terrorism Analysis Division with this final commendation, “Despite major obstacles, his work resulted in a significant contribution to the protection of United States forces worldwide.” Fred earned his MBA at Drexel University and his civilian career included financial positions at Siemens, Computervision, Burroughs and Equitable Life. He most enjoyed his post-retirement gig as host and story-teller at the Sea Crest by the Sea, the inn that he and Barb owned in Spring Lake, NJ. Fred was very proud of the bond he shared with his daughter Leigh, forged when she was a toddler and he a ‘stay-at-home dad’. He shared his love of baseball with Chris while coaching countless little league games and travelling to high school and college baseball games around the country. Fred especially loved his grandchildren learning to swim in the family pool and the annual family trips to the Cayman Islands. He got great joy from tinkering in the garage with his grandkids, taking apart or fixing everything from boats to toasters. His positivity and can-do attitude made him a great role model for his entire family. Pop-pop was always quick to tell his family how much he loved them. Fred was a man of deep faith; he walked the walk and talked the talk. First at Calvary Lutheran in Cranford and then Holy Trinity in Manasquan where he served in many volunteer capacities and impacted many souls. Fred is survived by his wife, Barbara Wold Vogel; children, Leigh (Michael) DeMarco, and Christopher (Jill) Vogel; four cherished grandchildren, Max, Evan, Nels, and Lacy; sister Dale (Michael) Malekoff and brother Charles (Gail) Vogel, brother-in-law Ted Wold; 8 (grand) nieces and nephews and many cousins. He is predeceased by his sister Barbara Ann (Neil) Koopman. Fred was a gentle, loving, and generous husband, father, grandfather, friend, leader and mentor. He is dearly missed. A memorial service will be held at 1 pm on Sunday, February 9th at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 6 Osborn Avenue, Manasquan, NJ. Reception following. Interment will be private.

Michael Wayne Radford, age 68, of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina passed away on April 16, 2020, after a two-year battle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

Due to the current government restrictions, he was not able to donate his lungs. So we are asking in lieu of flowers, that a donation be made in his memory.

On August 4, 1974, Mike, Command Sergeant Major retired, entered the armed services in Fort Jackson, South Carolina. He served in the United States Army with the Corps of Engineers for 23 years and 7 months. After military retirement he began his second career, in the civilian sector, as a regional manager for FirstFleet, Inc. working for 22 years before retiring on May 2019. He enjoyed being a mentor for his daughter and supporting his family, friends, and church. Mike was an avid golfer and enjoyed riding his boat on the intracoastal waterfront. Mike is survived by his wife, Judy, son Michael John (husband Jason) daughter, Monaca (husband Jeremy), five grandchildren, Carson Michael, Jocelyn, Jackson, Mason Wayne, and Christian, two brothers E.J. (wife Diane), Vincent (wife Kathy), 27 nieces and nephews, and other family and friends. Mike is preceded in death by his father, Elbert James Radford, Sr, and mother, Mary Gill Britt.

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. While we will be laying Hasmita’s beautiful soul to rest soon, we encourage those that knew her to remember all the precious and good times she influenced. We have likewise been overwhelmed with all the beautiful messages of sympathies and fond memories from friends and family close and far, and it’s humbling to see how much love, selflessness, kindness, and generosity one person could have. Hasmita was full to the brim with all of these characteristics, and unfortunately, that was too much for this world. She will forever be remembered as our angel that left us too soon.

Our Beloved Reggie - A Tribute We lost our beloved mother, Jana, or “Reggie,” a nickname we fondly called her and which she lovingly embraced, on May 20th, 2021. Though strong in mind and spirit, her health declined rapidly over the past six months, the result of a lifelong battle she did not even know she was fighting, against a vicious cycle whereby intestinal blockages caused by a rare birth defect were making her aspirate into her lungs. (Throughout her life, she would frequently experience episodes of stomach upset, nausea and vomiting, but ignorant of the cause, would incorrectly attribute them to food poisoning.) Over time, these aspirations damaged and scarred her lung tissue, which cumulatively led to the onset of a terminal lung disease called pulmonary fibrosis. A non-smoker who was perpetually committed to making responsible dietary and nutritional choices, her untimely death was all the more tragic because, apart from the freak nature of these digestive and respiratory ailments, her mind and body were otherwise strong and resilient. We lost our beloved Reggie well before her time. Our mom was a strong, spirited woman with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She was a colorful character who loved flowers, but a wallflower she was not. She had such charisma, and a great sense of humor! Wherever she went, and whomever she met, chances are she made friends, and regardless always made an impression. She loved to chat, and was always eager to help, and ready to lend a hand, or an ear, depending on what was needed. She frequently donated her time, money, clothing, and other possessions to charity, often at the expense of her own bills. As an artist, she loved the joy of creative expression. She had a spunky energy and vitality that was as charming and endearing as it was invigorating and life-affirming. And nowhere was this spunk and energy more evident than in the zest with which she approached motherhood, and the sheer delight she took in being a mom, and later a grandmother. "Love" is truly the operative word to use when describing our Reggie. Her mission in life was simply to be the best mom she could be, and she was tireless in her dedication and devotion to us. Always active, never passive, she would relentlessly advocate for us and champion our causes. She took great pride in us and would tell our life story to anyone who would listen. While this embarrassed us at the time, it also revealed the limitless depth of her love for us, which was truly unconditional. As we reflect on our childhood, there are so many wonderful memories and stories that illustrate her love and devotion to us as our mother. Here are just a few that help paint the picture of the extraordinary woman and mother she was: At just 24 years old, our mom faced months of extreme anxiety when Lyla, the second of her four kids, was born prematurely with a severely dysfunctional heart, and was given a 5% chance of seeing her first birthday. Thanks to our mom’s love and tireless advocacy for Lyla, and the help of some extraordinary doctors, Lyla at age one month became the youngest, smallest person in the world to receive a pacemaker and survive. Because our mom refused to give up on Lyla, she is now 40 years old and happily married with three beautiful kids. Throughout our childhood, our mom encouraged wholesome outdoor activities, and among the first we can remember was gardening. While we (and anyone that saw the amazing gardens she grew throughout her life) wish we had her green thumb, we remember vividly how she taught us as children to plant any and everything from seasonal flowers to complete vegetable and herb gardens. She taught us at an early age to respect nature, telling us to be gentle with earthworms and rebury them so they could aerate the soil. Our mom always had the most impressive gardens (occasionally bordering on jungles) with exotic flowers, tropical fruits, towering bamboo, palm trees, and enough fresh Italian herbs to supply the dinner tables of the entire neighborhood. The smell of wild oregano and gardenias will always remind us of her and our wonderful childhood years. For every performance, award ceremony, or graduation, she would never fail to be the first parent there to reserve front row seats for our family. Whenever one of us was in a school play, we would notice our mom on the edge of her seat, wide-eyed with a huge smile, subconsciously mouthing all of the lines or lyrics, which she had invariably memorized while helping us to rehearse in the many nights leading up to the big event. Because she wasn’t visible to whichever sibling was on stage, it was clear that this truly endearing habit of hers was completely subconscious and born from pure, unadulterated delight in seeing each of her kids perform. Like most children, we were picky eaters. But our mom took it in stride and for fifteen years straight, she would get up at dawn to prepare four different breakfasts so that none of us would go to school hungry. Pumpkin muffins, banana bread, pecan pound cake, peach kuchen… you name it, our mom could bake it! For every birthday, our mom would go out of her way to make us feel special. In the early years, it was homemade cakes in the shape of our favorite character or toy - Garfield, Minnie Mouse, a fire truck - her creativity was limitless. As we got older, we moved on to cookie cakes. Every year, there would be a different theme according to our interests at the time. From Bart Simpson to soccer to Tweety Bird to fishing or gymnastics, she was perfectly in tune with each of our constantly changing interests, and she always nailed it year after year. When it came to the holidays, Charles Dickens himself could not have dreamed of a better Christmas celebration! Every December, there were Christmas songs and movies being played, homemade fresh pine wreathes (made by Reggie herself), Christmas lights, decorations, and heavenly aromas coming from her kitchen. Thanks to her, we’re all Christmas fanatics and will always celebrate the joyous Christmas season to the fullest. Each of us kids went through an awkward phase during our adolescence, but our mom’s intuition could always tell when something was bothering us. So, in addition to making us a homemade lunch, she would frequently include a handwritten note in our lunchboxes, containing words of encouragement, love, and advice. For every single soccer game, hockey game, basketball game, track meet, or gymnastics event we ever participated in, Reggie was always there, rain or shine. Whenever we were on the team bus, we would see her car following the bus to all of our away games, no matter how far away they were. For the final 100 meters of every race, Reggie would position herself right by the finish line, hanging her head out over the fence, cheering for us as we sprinted to the end. We will never forget hearing her shout, with vocal cords strained from overuse, “Go Hans! Go Lyla! Go Jake! Go Lara!” We can still hear these shouts of encouragement in our heads, as loud and as clear as when they boomed out thunderously from the stands. When the boys took up hockey, she didn’t think twice when they asked her to move her magnificent rose garden so we could expand our driveway for street hockey. This selfless act made our driveway the neighborhood hotspot for street hockey games. And when we accidentally broke a window pane, she quickly painted a sun whose rays emanated out along the exact path of the web of shattered glass, so our dad wouldn’t notice. As a result, it went undiscovered for years. She always had our backs. Throughout our schooling, our mom was always dedicated to ensuring our success (while reminding us to enjoy life too, for a “B does not stand for ‘bad’ at Berkeley”). From choir trips to Scandinavia, to Spanish immersions in Costa Rica and Mexico, to class trips to NYC and DC, Environmental science trips to the Galapagos, our mom was certainly a ready and willing chaperone! Beyond the great adventures she shared with us on school trips near and far, she made our everyday schooling just as fun. From dressing up as the artist Georges Seurat to teach 4th graders pointillism in a “Meet the Masters” series (she even cut a piece of her own hair to fashion as a mustache for the occasion!), to teaching middle school students how to sew boxer shorts and scrunchies, to creating a full year’s course for 2nd graders in Gifted Literature – at no charge to the Florida public school system – when she found out Lara’s school only offered gifted math and science… our Reggie stopped at nothing to make sure her 4 children continued to grow academically, while never losing sight of the fun in learning. Nearly every Friday night we went out as a family to our favorite sushi restaurant. Not only did she get us permanently addicted to sushi, family dinners like those were part of her routine to help keep our family close. At home, she would cook elaborate meals five days a week to ensure, no matter how busy our schedules got, that we always broke bread together as a family each night. When our childhood dog, Floppy, was deathly ill, we all resigned ourselves to her fate and prepared for the worst. But Reggie, unbeknownst to us, took her to various specialists to see what could be done. After school one day, Reggie surprised us by telling us to look in the backseat of the family station wagon, where we found a bandaged-up but happy and tail-wagging Floppy, who had just received lifesaving surgery. This beautiful act of maternal intervention prevented our hearts from being broken at young ages, and bought us five more years with our family dog. Year after year, sibling after sibling, she helped us move into and out of our college dorms. She bought sofas at thrift stores and rented a U-Haul truck to drive them all the way up to us. In many a telephone conversation, she would frequently ask if “our ears were burning today,” because she had been bragging about our accomplishments. All the way to the end, our mom was one of the strongest people we have ever known. The doctors told us that her lung capacity was no more than the size of a juice box, and that her breathing was so labored, she was essentially experiencing the sensation of drowning at all times of day. Confined to a hospital bed, she was able to endure this state of perpetual misery for six long months. Her ability to stay sane, let alone hopeful and positive, through this ordeal was nothing short of superhuman. During her final days, it was obvious that her sole motivation to go on was her love for us and her desire to keep us from being hurt. The incredible strength she exhibited throughout her life and especially in her final days will always inspire us to be as strong and as loving as she was. To give a final sense of who our beloved Reggie was, we wish to share a portion of the epitaph she wrote, which we found among her things after her passing: She had the Soul of a GypsyThe Heart of a HippieThe Spirit of a Fairy Please donate my body to medical research. Celebrate my life with a big party telling Reggie stories and LAUGHING. Think about your favorite Reggie times! Laugh! Know that I will always be watching over you! I don’t know how, YET, but you know Reggie ALWAYS FINDS A WAY!! Talk to me when you have a problem; I’ll do my best to get some ideas to resolve it into your head! Reggie, we love you more than words can say. You were the best mom we could’ve asked for. You taught us how to love unconditionally with our whole hearts. And we are committed to carrying that torch forward, now and always.

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.
