From Walter Knecht, President, PICKLEBALLBC:
"Chuck Lefaive, a very fervent pickleball promoter for over 8 years, founding member of both Pickleball Canada and BC Pickleball (retired June this year) is having a very unfortunate summer of 2018. He suffered some health (heart) issues a couple months ago which included a valve replacement and some bypass surgery as well. His recovery has been hampered significantly by poor circulation to the vein donor site. Many attempts have been made to correct and overcome but sadly to no avail. This past week Chuck underwent amputation above the knee on the affected leg.
Rita Lefaive, wife, indicates in an email that Chuck has come thru that surgery well, is recovering in the Royal Columbian, Rm 318. His cell phone, 604-868-9989, is bedside and would love to hear from friends and acquaintances. I am sure emails to him would be delivered post haste as well."
