Hello Radon Colleagues.

I wanted to pass along some sad news about our friend, Susie Shimek. Please see an abbreviated message from Bill Long (USEPA) below. As more details are made available, we will pass them along.

Susie Shimek passed away Tuesday morning at 10:30am. Her son Jake, sister Linda, niece, and Tracy Enger from our office were with her at her bedside. Susie was peaceful.

The family is making plans for memorial services and celebrations of Susie’s life. I expect there will be more news to share soon about that.

I wanted to reach out to tell you so that you could pass along the news to those in the states and industry who knew and worked with Susie.

Bill Long

Susie's USEPA colleagues and friends are creating a memory book in her honor. If you wish to contribute any thoughts, notes or photos, please send them to Peggy Bagnoli (BagnolidotPeggyatepadotgov). Ms. Bagnoli wishes to have something finished by the end of August, so please get things to her soon. Please send this message to anybody who knew Susie that may have moved on to new careers or have retired. She had a very large network of friends and colleagues.

Rest peacefully, Susie, my friend and mentor.
