Default Mudbug in hospital update

I just received word that Dave is in ICU after emergency surgery. He is apparently out of surgery but can' talk due to all the tubes.His wife told me he is communicating though with a chalkboard. Anyone who knows Dave ,knows he is an upbeat very positive guy but he has had more than his fair share of health issues for a young man. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers please.

Thanks for the update! Last I saw him was before Christmas at Canadian Tire - He has had his share of health issues, that's for sure. Such a great guy. Will be praying for him and his wife.

What a nice man Dave is. Did a typical AO parking lot deal once and had a very nice conversation. I dont think i have met a tougher individual considering everything he has gone through health wise. have been thinking about him today. Get well Dave. Pulling for you...
