Default Need messages sent up the Big Guy...help please.
Ive never had to write one of these posts before.

A good friend, a guy with a heart of gold, the gift of gab, a great husband and someone who is by definition the true meaning of being a Cruisin' Tiger could use some help.

My friend Rick Bogoff is very sick. Hes has too many things ailing him to list. The most threatening is his heart and lungs. Ive watched him dwindle over the last couple of years and now things are really bad. Hes in the hospital again but I just cant share how much further this has gone. I fear the worst.

Please take a moment and send a message upstairs for Rick. Sometimes you just need a person like this in your life. Someone who will always see the bright side of things and who could be the same person to kick you in the as when you need it. Hes been there for me on both accounts.

Even though he was sick and it hurt too much to walk, he insisted on handing out awards at the Indian Uprisng this past summer via his scooter.

Paul...
Said a prayer for Rick as soon as I got Randy's email. I'll put him on the prayer list at my church. He was one of the first guys in the club to take the time to welcome me and spend time getting to know me. He's a real people person.

A prayer was made. Bless Rick.

The winds of life blow through this site like anywhere. They are sad winds at times.
