Jan Zlotnick
The Prostate Awareness Foundation mourns the loss of our dear friend and comrade Jan Zlotnick, who passed away from advanced prostate cancer on New Year’s Eve.
Gail Etzler passed away peacefully at home on October 18th after a long, courageous, and noble battle against metastasized breast cancer. She served on the board of directors for the Prostate Awareness Foundation, and was PAF founder and executive director Ken Malik’s partner for over twenty years. Gail learned to cook tasty and nutritious prostate and breast cancer friendly vegan dishes and contributed her recipes to the Sustainable Prostate Menu blog. Her Sustainable Prostate recipes will be published in a cookbook in 2017.
Gail was a kind, generous and loving soul. She will be missed.
Mary was Ralph Lake’s mom. Many of you know Ralph as a PAF board member and regular participant of the annual Cancer Climb and Trek for Prostate Awareness.
Ralph and Ken Malik, PAF founder and executive director grew up together, and Mary Lake was a friend to so many of the guys we grew up with. In later life she was a proud and regular supporter of the PAF. She touched and inspired all of us with her youthful exuberance, positive energy and radiance.
She will be missed but always remembered. Our sincere condolences to the family.
