Default Ron Black RB Designs: Get well soon!

Just a heads up, Ron Black is currently in the hospital. He had an emergency hernia surgery last week and has had some complications leaving Ron in the hospital. I spoke to Ron's wife yesterday on the phone and have been emailing her back and forth. Ron is feeling a bit better as of yesterday, but still has a tube going into his stomach and will need to remain in the hospital for another 5 days or so. No other surgeries will be needed though. Both Ron and his wife would appreciate thoughts and prayers.

Ron, the consummate professional he is, was worried about cutting my slide I had dropped off last week. He was so concerned about not being able to get to the job in quite some time, he had his wife find a brand new larger slide in his shop and leave it for me to try. All of this unbeknownst to me!

I know many of you have had Ron do work for you and he has a stellar reputation and does excellent work. We all hope Ron gets back on his feet soon. Ron's the best!

I'll try to keep the forum updated on Ron's progress.

Thanks for the heads up, was wondering why I hadn't heard back from an earlier email. Hope all is well and for a successful recovery.

Yep, Ron's a helluva good guy. He did the head on my KDX, I bought one of his brand new fully modified carbs, and he did the stems pressing for my fork conversion as well. Quick and professional. Get well soon Ron!

Ron's wife emailed again today and said he'd enjoy emails of encouragement. Please feel free to contact Ron at his work email address. ron@rb-designs.com

She said he had a bit of a rough day today.

Been to the ER a couple times (thanks to my love of 2 wheels...lol) and know the best part of going in is coming out fixed.

Heal up Ron, I know there are a ton of GG folks pulling for you
