One week ago today, I was shocked and saddened to read the obituary of Mark Stoiber. Mark Stoiber's cause of death was a Pulmonary Embolism.
Mr. Stoiber was Co-Founder and President of The Sleep Wellness Institute, a successful Milwaukee-area operation that helps people with sleep apnea. He was also a proud husband, father of three children and a man of quiet confidence, patience and intelligence. Moreover, Mark Stoiber cared about others.
It might be the most cruel paradox in life--someone like Mark Stoiber is taken ten days before his 48th birthday, while countless bastards live peaceably into their nineties.
