One of my buddies here in Gainesville, Larry, was diagnosed a month ago with testicular cancer. Looks like it has metastasized to bladder and liver now. Larry played ball for U Miami in the good old days. Big guy, 6-8, 275, or used to be anyway. He is skinny as a rail now. Back in the hospital Friday, with more issues. Heading to Shands Medical Center on Monday, probably for surgery. One heck of a good man. Single Dad, two teenagers, boy and girl. Hard worker. A most excellent friend. I sure would appreciate a couple of prayers for my buddy. He is going through hell right now, as is his family.
Thanks....
Sam......

Thoughts and prayers from Iowa.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Sorry about your Bud Sam, I've lost a few friends to cancer, tough to watch them go down hill.
I pray your Bud comes out on top.

sure appreciate the prayers and kind words. Larry was such a strong, vibrant guy. Full of life, full of fun. Always ready to help anyone in need. He has done countless little things for others, never asking a thing in return. He is a big outdoors man. Off shore fishing, hunting up in the panhandle of Florida, at his folks place.......... Ya just never know when adversity will knock on your door.
Sam......

Man I despise cancer. Godspeed recovery and good health to your pard Sam. Sounds like a great man and very deserving of strong prayer!
