Tinster aka Dale

[Silverghost]

Dale's wife Wendy sent out a message via Facebook to his friends there - Dale was hospitalized recently with blood clots in his lungs and leg. The blood thinners are working and the prognosis is good. She will send updates when there is more news. Dave Reese and I thought some of the members here would want to know.

I was just thinking today that we have not seen any post from him in a while. Hope the best.

 

[Guest]

Hope he's gonna be o.k.

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Yep - he's been through a lot. Thanks for the update, Peter.

 

[Basil]

We will keep him in our thoughts and prayers here.

He did keep this sight "lively"

Prayers to Dale and the family. I too noticed no postings of late. I often wondered where he got "Tinster" from. Anyone know? I do recall he has quite a sense of humor.

Judy, back in the day,architects made models of their designs from tin, thus Tinster
He has not been well for awhile. I talk to him somewhat regularly. Miss him, I had fun in PR with him and Wendy

I'm friends with him on facebook as well. He's had some pretty major ups and downs (mostly downs) lately. We're hoping for a trip to FL this summer, with a visit. Dale and Wendy are two of the nicest people I've ever met. I wish I could do more to help them out.

Yes, it is sad he is going thru the pains of terminal COPD. His Fbook posts have been typical Dale, and his attitude positive and "political".

That's too bad about Dale. He and Wendy will get some prayers from my corner.

I too stay in touch with Dale and Wendy via Facebook. I know he missed being a part of the BCF.

An interesting friend who I will miss dearly when his time comes. You both remain in my thoughts and prayers...

Dale, the place hasn't been the same since you left here. Have missed you. God be with you Dale and Wendy.

The latest Facebook update from Wendy:
[h=5]Quick update then back to the hospital before the doc. arrives. Dale making progress but meds not stabilized yet. More later.[/h]

 

[Basil]

Thanks for the update Dave.

Here is the latest from Wendy on Facebook:

"Good news! Dale came home from the hospital last night. Starting today he is to report back every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for outpatient physical therapy and blood checks, then visits to both of his doctors next week. Busy days but worth it to have him home and making progress."

 

[Basil]

That's great! Hope he stays on the road to recovery!

That is such wonderful news. Some of us can take a deep breath now. Hugs and prayers from this member.
