[Marxism] Fw: Andre Gunder Frank passes

["Pieinsky" <pieinsky@xxxxxxx>]

Dear friends and colleagues of Gunder's,

We are writing to let you know that Gunder died early this morning. He
fought
cancer with great courage, and was still working until two weeks ago, though
in
recent weeks he worked fewer and fewer hours every day because of pain and
exhaustion. He worked with more strength and determination than we have the
words to tell - until his body gave up. In the last couple of days, all he
could
do was to hold our hands.

In the last three days, we have received more than a thousand e-mail
messages of
condolence, remembrance, and friendship from friends and colleagues of
Gunder's
all over the world. Paul has tried to answer each message individually.
Please
forgive us if we don't reply to each message we receive in response to this.

We, Gunder's family, will have a small gathering to express our love for
Gunder
before he is cremated on Tuesday afternoon, April 26 in the Luxembourg
crematory. Friends and colleagues who wish or are able to attend are welcome
to
come. We know from hundreds of messages that most friends who would like to
be
here will not be able to travel on such short notice.

Alison's e-mail address is: acandela@xxxxxxxxxxx
Miguel's e-mail: mfrank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Miguel's phone number is +352 091 656 236
Paul's e-mail: paulfrank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Paul and Miguel Frank
