Kris Dickson (Ken Dicksons son) called me and asked me to post a prayer request for all of the fiat crowd.
For those that do not know, Ken Dickson is a long time contributor to the fiat crowd. He has been very involved with Mirafiori.
He has been fighting Leukimia for some time now. He has been in and out of the hospital trying to beat it. He recently underwent a second bone marrow transplant. Hes not doing so good. Hes been unconcious for the last coupl edays. He has pnemonia in both lungs. He is also on a bronchial tube.
His son (Kris) called me and asked to post a message requesting a quick prayer for his father.
He also wanted me to pass on that if anyone needs anything Fiat related, to give him a call (314)803-0919.
So please, say a prayer for Ken.

Re: Prayer request for long time fiat communit ymember
Give Ken courage and comfort.
Give Kris strength and endurance.
Give Ken's doctors wisdom and skill.
We all ask for Ken's healing and return to health.
Ken: when it is hard, remember the wind in your face and the sound of the engine and the joy of the journey.

Ken passed away last night around 9:30. His fight is over. Those that knew him here will tell ya, he was a hell fo a guy. I never met him face to face, but I spent hours talking to him on the phone while he was in mediacl isolation. He helped me through alot of issues with my cars as well as others. He will be sorely missed.

Please convey my condolences to Kris.
I recently lost my mother to a similar illness.
I identify with and am very sorry for his loss.

This is bad and sad news. I always appreciated his know-how and his warm and humerous sense.
Thanks for passing on my condolences.
