Default John Labuda on Hospice

Just stopped at Labuda CC dealer. Drs removed him from meds and blood transfusions. So it's only a matter of time. Keep him and his family in your prayers. We talked at Norwalk last year. His 56 Gasser may not be there unless his son or friends bring it.

John was a kind and generous man as is his family. I remember last year at this time sitting in his office talking about going to Norwalk. He was doing an engine transplant on my super cub cadet. I was wondering about the cost. He smiled and said dont worry. Very fair. We would talk about our cancer drs,one we had together was an oncologist. As I age and after my wifes sudden passing I have learned to put my faith in God. Though grieving is daily.
