A friend that regulars on the DSAC board, Joe Ward who goes by Spinner on style and as Wingfan here on the areo form
is in pretty bad shape. He went to the hospital with stomach ailments last
week and has gone down hill rapidly. He has been diagnosed with Liver Cancer
and the Doctors say he probably doesn't have very much time left. Those of
you that pray, we request your prayers and those of you that don't, we
request your well hope and well wishes.
Thanks, Ken and also Joe's Family & Friends

I hate to see anyone go into a hospital.

It just doesn't seem fair...
My prayers are with him and his family.
He will be in my prayers.

Wow, VERY sorry to hear about that. I've met Joe now twice at the MonsterMopar show, and he is a super guy.

I just got an update and they are moving Joe over to a different Hospital to evaluate him for a liver transplant. So thats good news (or at least better news)!!
They didn't think I was gonna wake up couple summers ago when I went down so I can attest to the power of prayer.
I don't know him but if he's a friend of yours he must be an A OK dude. Prayers and thoughts out to Mr. Ward and his family. :angelwing:

That's great news. At least we have hope. We're thinking about him and praying for him every day. I e-mailed him yesterday even though I didn't think he would get to read it. I told him that I pray for a cure for my wife's alzheimer's every night and that starting that night I would add a special request in there for him. I'm not deeply religious but I've seen miracles happen before.
I'm haven't done much praying in the last 20 years, but they are certainly with Joe and his family now. I know how difficult of a time this can be, and I'm sure they can use all the support they can get. God bless.
Praying for the best. :angel:
my prayer is with them.
Update on Joe - He was moved to a new hospital on Friday night. The Liver Doctor there has ordered a slew of new tests, he is thinking that maybe the liver is not failing, but something else causing the same effect. The results of these tests will not be in until tomorrow. He is still in very serious condition, but is holding is own for now. Will keep you upated.
Ken
thats sort of good news right?
he's gotta be RAM tough!
The Tesh WILL pray for him. JC came down here for aholes like me-and i KNOW I AM at the top of THAT list. This last 3 months ago- I LOST my eyesight from vitreal bleeding in my eyes. This is caused by the Diabetes I have had for 27 yrs (since my Army days-I got 4 Fed on a medical cuz of it)-the tiny blood vessels bleed into the vitreous juice in my eyes. This fills the eye with blood and within MINUTES of bleeding-you are BLIND. Folks and me PRAYED for a miracle. It happened. The doc believes in drinking 1 10 oz glass of red wine 3 days/week to clear up ANY ailment. I now drink MERLOT. My eyes are 100% restored. Tell him to pray and drink RED WINE-NOW !!! Jesus did...and when he ran out-HE MADE M O R E !!!!! :cheers:
I don't think miracles are all that rare and i do and will continue to pray. :yesnod:
here's another beliver in Joes corner. :2thumbs:
:angel: Will do..
Still thinking about him and still praying. I hope they moved him to UAMS. Some of the best doctors in the world are right there at UAMS.
My prayers go out to Joe. He's a nice guy.

In my prayers today.
With a heavy heart. I'm sad to say Joe passed away at 2 am this morning.
RIP brother.
Ken
Our prayers go out to his family,Brent.
very sad to hear that
I'll miss talking to him. Our conversations centered around the wingcars mostly. I keep thinking about how we grew up in the same city and yet never got the chance to share stories of our youth. I regret that. Rest in peace my friend.
Sending Heartfelt sympathy to his family, May he be at peace.
i'm sorry , RIP
Very sorry to hear that, Ken. No doubt, he was one of the good guys in the hobby and a great all around person.
He will be (and already is) missed.
no way...dude...hope he's driving the bird up in mopar heaven.
My heart goes out to the family. Very sorry to hear this.
Live everyday like it's your last and be kind to everyone.

Deep sympathy to Joes family. I believe I met him at a meet. Sherry's brother died in November with cancer 7 days after diagnoses. It's very hard on the family and we wish them peace. We know that our loved ones are always with us, its not just faith, it is a fact.
Joe is with us still. He's just more of an observer than a full participant. We take comfort in this whenever we have lost a loved one, family or friend.
Rick and Sherry
Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear this. I've been away for a few days.
So very sorry.He was a great guy.
Wow. I guess you never know how fast you will go. God Bless. :'(
Although I did not have the pleasure of knowing Joe, listening to y'all he sounds like a great guy. Our prayers are with his family and friends. God Bless

My thoughts exactly. May his family always remember the good times.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Is his Bird done? If not, I hope his family decides to keep it and finish it in his honor. My thoughts are with his family.
