Default Zooker update

well gang.... i just got off the phone with zookers brother and mother. he is NOT doing good. the doctors aren't expecting him to make throught the night. i am at a loss for words right now. so please forgive me.
there is still hope. ZOOKER hasn't given up. before i left yesterday i asked him this and he said,"i'll never give up, never give up." then he told me to go home.








sorry, i can't type anything else right now. i try again later........

I only hope if we have to let him go, that God greets him with a Rod/Reel and a brand new Ranger. He was supposed to come down to Guntersville in June, but this sidelined him..

We are praying.. keep hanging me dear friend.

It's so hard to accept that he had such a sudden and serious turn for the worse. Two weeks ago when I was talking to him he sounded in great shape, strong, and laughing. And now this? Just said a prayer and will continue to do so untill he gets back on his feet. Touch him God, as only you can do.

Thanks for the update bama. I may not be so close to this situation but unfortunately I know it too well. Tell him to keep fighting and DO NOT give up. We are all pulling for him.

Well John I still don't know what to say now anymore than I did when I sent you that text from work. I just went numb when I read it and I still don't know what I should say. Britney and I are praying for Zooker as well as his family. We are tought that all things happen for a reason and the good Lord is in control so lets all remember that and try to find comfort in it.

I have been away from the computer for over a week while vacationing in Texas. John, you are a true friend to anyone who has ever gotten a chance to meet you. Zooker inherited an angel when he met you..
My Prayers go out to the big guy and his family. I truly hope he pulls through and is able to beat this horrible disease for good! I know he has made his mark on this website! 'Nuff said!'
