We have encountered a huge setback

I felt that I needed to post this as many of you have met my dad over the years at many of the GT events and have become fond of him. We have encountered a huge setback as my dad suffered a major stroke on Thursday morning and things will probably remain real hectic for the next week or so as he will need to be entered into rehab facility for 4 to 6 weeks depending on his progress. His mind hasn’t been affected at all but his entire left side has suffered greatly and it is going to take time/hard work on his part to recover. Please keep him in your prayers.

What they all said.

My dad had a very mild stroke once...'scared the devil out of us. So I can just about imagine what you're all going through right now.

'Praying for a very rapid and full recovery.

Prayers to your father and for your family John. My father in law had a very similar stroke last year and the recovery and therapy are hard but incredibly fruitful.

John, I am sorry to hear about your father. Your dad is a really great guy. It is always a pleasure to share time with both of you. We had some good laughs at the Friday night car show. Your father has a really good easy going character and a great sense of humor. Robbie reminds me a lot of my dad. A real good "Old School " American !! I send my regards and wish him a speedy recovery. Sincerely, Brian
