I've met Dave a few times, been to his shop a bunch more and always had a pleasant experience dealing with him.

I know that he has been going through a TON of issues over the last couple of years and has been dealing with a major back problem.

I hope he heals up and stays with the Porsche community.

I for one would really hate to see him close up shop.

this sounds cheesy, and if someone has a better idea i'm all ears...

but does anyone live close enough to what ever hospital this is, to deliver flowers?
I'll be happy to pitch in and send money towards that.

again if there is something better than flowers I'm all ears.

anybody want to volunteer to be the local delivery person, or if we could figure out the address I'm sure FTD will be happy to deliver.

Dave provided great information and parts at a good price for my 914.
He is one of the good guys.

Great thought, but in my recent experience, hospitals (at least around here) no longer allow flowers, or even live plants, especially in the ICU. Too many chances of arousing someone's allergies ...........

Sorry to hear about Dave. My best wishes and prayers. I have purchased from him over the years since the late 80's.

Bummer. I hope all goes well. I have always had good dealings with Dave.

Maybe we can bring him porn? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Just trying to keep it light.

The Captain makes a good point (as usual)
if flowers aren't allowed these days, what would a good replacement be
I'm definitely sending something
is anyone else interested?

a 914 card is a good start, but we should put something with it..
or do the card now and flowers (?) later...

OK...this is why I didn't post what "I" knew...because none of this is confirmed.

Let's ALL take a breathe and hope he's OK....OK??????

We will post what is confirmed and not what we heard....ummm....K?

I consider Dave a good guy. He's the guy I went with when after i got dissed by AA and Patrick Motorsport. If he gets along with ME he has a thick skin.

Let's ALL say a prayer for him.

amen.

I have been dealing with Dave for 14 years, and he has always done good for me. No complaints, and refer him to people all the time.

I *really*, *really* hope he pulls through ok.

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.

I only know him from a customer perspective. He is a good business man and obviously a good person well beyond that. He's in our thoughts.
