MechArmor Defense Systems Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Greetings everyone, Since many of you here know my long time friend and business partner, Van Barker, and given his current condition, I thought I might let everyone know that Van took ill about two months ago. I know he believed as I did that the condition, which came out of nowhere, would be more controllable than it has proven to be. Van has been in and out of the hospital the entire time, and now just recently readmitted for a surgery which he almost didn't make it through, and has been in ICU in critical condition since last weekend. Van, like myself, is not at all inclined to air his personal business in public. And if he pulls through and see's this I'm gonna fricking hear about it. But I rather not leave anything on the table. So, if you are inclined, some solid prayers would be greatly appreciated. PS: I thought about giving out the hospital name here and all that, but if I do, even if he doesn't make it, he will return to do me in. So, best I can do is to give out our NH business address if anyone wishes to send get well cards, etc. When the situation warrants it, I will update everyone here if that's ok. Thanks Rick Edited January 6, 2017 by MechArmor Defense Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
