News?

Thanks Fish40, I hope you or I or anyone for that matter have some news soon. I am very nervous, this is not like Dave or Fransico (his friend) not to give us any updates.

Thanks very much, Fish40, for your effort in finding out what's going on. I agree with Torps, that it's been too long without some kind of contact. Hoping and praying for the best.

I'm more of a lurker around here, but i had to stop by and wish Dave/Leo good luck wherever he is. From what i have read, he is a kind and considerate person who is never too busy to help a guy out. Not to mention an outstanding moder.

Dave you are a credit to this comunity and i hope to see you back soon.

best wishes Q3ark

if money is a concern for you Fish I have free LD for all of North America -- so I can help out with a call if needed.

i have some serious doubts about our likelihood of finding anything out via phone to a Hospital though. even in person you would get no information with only a first name and condition - unless we luck out and get someone that doesn't do their job, which is protecting patients privacy.

i don't know how things are in the US, but i know in Canada they are quite wary about giving out info, and if i didn't have a last name i'd be asked to leave.

it's worth a try at least in my opinion

With the current HIPAA rules, they'd not give out any information at all. They won't even give it to a spouse without a waiver.

Thanks Fish40!

Last night I chased Leo's yahoo profile. Not much there but a sbcglobal email addy and a first name.

There is a Dave M Leo in Waterbury, ...but that's a long shot.

Yeah, it's going to be tough getting past the nurses station with, "is there a Dave there, brown hair, goatee, 43 years of age? Might have come in on Christmas eve."

Now, Dave did mention that he was recieving a military funeral, so if anyone is in the 'Army pipeline' that could give us a lead. ( Dave was in the Army as a Combat MP with the 432nd MP company and 101st Rangers ) maybe RcJonsey has some leads.

* Dave is also a mechanic, but I don't know what garage he was with.

Daves' last subsim activity was 12-24-2007 10:20 PM

I'm really getting worried, but am hoping for the best.

Cheers,
-A

as grim as it sounds i've spent a great deal of time going through Obits and Army announcement boards - no luck (which IMO is a great thing). obviously if i find anything i'll post it here immediately.

re: Dave M Leo, I'd say that's either the craziest coincidence of the new year - or that's the Dave we've come to love and respect might be worth giving that address a call, might have more luck than the hospital.

I just stumbled across this old thread...http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=119798&page=4 There is a post there from August 2007 (third from last post, final/4th page).

It's well worth reading and will surely make you appreciate even more the magnitude of Dave's achievement with ROW and, of even greater importance, his personal character and strength.

A silent prayer and my very best wishes so we could hear from Leo soon and all would be OK.

His name is NOT Dave M Leo (unless he signed into the hospital using an alias?). I have his full name (through paypal), but for privacy reasons (even though we all love Dave) I will not post it here. I may share it with one or two people that are the best candidates to figure out where he is. Please PM me if you think you are (fish40?).

I hope I'm right and that he didn't use an alias on paypal though, but that seems highly unlikely as the name looks to be like a normal name...

Hope Dave is just taking some weeks off, and that we all worry over nothing

As you know, I've been trying to contact the hospitals in Dave's area in a vain effort to try to find something. No luck. As many stated, they're not going to give out any patient info. I was even thinking about a PI. I have some friends who are in law enforcement. If worse comes to worse, mabey they know someone who owes them a favor. It's a long shot, and we're not at that point yet, but just an idea.

GUYS......................Dave

Ok Guys............... well I must say this really sucks, here is the email I just received from Dave's friend, Fransico.


David had a stroke.

We packed up the dogs and go to see my family and spend time there for the holidays in Philadelphia. One morning when I woke up David not wake up. At the hospital they said he had a stroke. He can not move his left side and can not talk. I do not even know if he know me all he does is cry and we not know if it is pain or upset.

I hope our going there did not do this I do not know if even my fault asking him to come with me.

I do not even know when I can get him closer to home. I had to come back home to work or we lose everything. I not know what to do. I want David home.

Sorry but David no more internet or play games.

Francisco

Not a good thing at all. I hope at the very least Dave can get on home.

Damn.

I hope he recovers. Fingers crossed.

Send Francisco our regards, and remind him that he had nothing to do with the stroke.
