GPR-RIP, Dave's in the hospital, the biz is history Options

[Cap'n Krusty]

I'm sorry to report that Dave Shepherd is still in the hospital, and the biz, GPR, is officially closed as of 31 May. Word is things are looking less-than-good for Dave. Young, nice, and a real Porsche guy. A tragedy. The Cap'n

Well, I'll tell you what I DO know, 2 perforated ulcers, anemia, pneumonia, and a drug induced coma and he's still in the ICU. The only good news of the last week is that his blood pressure has improved. This is straight from 2 sources, a friend of ours who's in close contact with his dad and one of his employees have both told me the same thing.
They're not allowing any visitors except for immediate family. He won't be seeing any flowers as long as he's in a coma.
He does and will need cash. If you guys feel the need to contribute and there's a consensus that that's something that we should do, I'd be glad to set up a bank account for that purpose and accept payments to my personal paypal account to be deposited to that account or you could feasibly deposit directly into that account.
I would of course give the money to Dave in person when he improves and 914 World members would get all the credit.
In the event that Dave doesn't pull through, we could give the cash to his children or give it to help with funeral costs.
I have 4 people who have agreed to let me know when/if he begins accepting visitors and I will go there to visit ASAP.
I've known Dave for almost 20 years and I consider him a friend. We would talk about our personal lives as well as any business that we had to attend to. I know more about the problems that Dave has been enduring that I will share on any public forum, but he has been having a hard time for quite a while due to pain from a very damaged body from an old motorcycle accident.
I'll do whatever I can to help.
