    Hey guys-

    just wanted to let everyone know, i will most likely be absent from the forum for a few days.

    Most of you know my brother has been battling brain cancer (tumors) for the past couple years. We put him in hospice about a month ago and the tumors have rapidly progressed to overcoming him.

    yesterday he had a pretty massive seizure and we also believe he had a stroke. he is in a coma right now and we are just counting the minutes/hours left.

    he is at peace. and we, as his family are at peace also. he fought like a son of a bitch for 3 years! but, its time for him to go.

    if anyone needs me for any reason, i will gladly return any messages. business related or anything else related.

    the service at the hospice is terrible for cell's, (its on the water) but when i get a signal and service i will check messages and emails.

    cell #: (203) 889-1319

    It's OK Marc - family comes first. Always does, and we get that. Take care of yourself and your family. We'll all be thinking of you.

    Best Wishes...
