Very interesting.

A local friend died recently. Several years ago he was diagnosed with kidney failure and had to go on dialysis twice a week. A little later he had cancer that took away half his jaw. Later still another cancer grew around the dialysis tube, and he lost half his chest. Eventually the cancer ate him alive. He was a year younger than I. He was very active with his 911, primarily on track or running the tower at the track.

Thanks for posting this Geoff. I've been wondering about Dave.

Has anyone talked to them? I wish there was a way to go show some support - whether a visit for emotional support, or something tangible like a work party. But I don't know at this point if it's best to just give them space? Can anyone comment?

Prayers sent.

Thanks for the update on Dave. Wish it could be better news. Cool to here the full story too about how they decided to have kids. He will receive no better gifts the the gift of fatherhood.

Admins can we start a donation for medical bills and get something sent to Dave. Let him know we miss him.

I'll be the first to chip in $50.

I set-up a Paypal account. I would like to transfer this to one of the admins though. I prefer not to be in charge of it. But if no one else can step-up I will. It is not linked to any bank accounts and will only withdraw money via check.


Here's the donation button for people to start. I have already donated $50 into the account:

I guess I have time to contact them if their old # works. They have moved alot so I don't know where they live now.

The 914? last time I saw it needed the flares finished then painting. Then reinstalling everything....I think he was going back to a type4 motor but (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .

Thanks for posting that Geoff... I apprently needed that cry. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Right about the time I found this community online was the time frame that everyone was helping to raise money for "the van".

I thought to myself... now this is a bunch of cats I want to hang with. I saw people that were never going to meet Dave... that lived thousands of miles away from him pouring thier heart and soul into that project. Hell even me... the cheapest person in the world kicked in some dough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It is truely a testament to a love for life and a love for people and a love for cars that we are a tight knit community. We may rocked by rifts and splintered by situations but these things are always amoung a bunch of car crazy, fun loving, caring people.

1) You come for the cars.

2) You stay for the people.


God bless you Dave and Kori... you taught us more than any of the most skilled mechanics amoung us. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif)

If by chance you do get a hold of Dave's family and a party gets together to help finish his car that would be wonderful. I have some spare parts so if any parts are needed I hope you post what is needed and somehow we can help in some small way by donating the parts needed.

Good Luck Dave

Makes my heart ache.

All the time I have spend with Dave and Kori has helped me put my life in perspective and the count my blessings even when feeling down and out.

I met Dave in 'bout 2001 when he was tearing apart a 914 motor with Chris Reale. Those two guys were a blast to hang out with and had no idea about mechanics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alfred.gif)

So its been a long slow decline and very hard to watch. Definately makes for soul searching (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)



The fund raising efforts for them are something this community can be proud off and should be only the start of our efforts in assisting others. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

I missed the work party when Qarl when up to help. Maybe it's time to start thinking about this again.

Korijo, If you read this I want you to know we are here for you and your family. We can all do something.

Thank you for sharing your story. The bond you and Dave share, the commitment you have to each other, your children and family is a rare gift.
