    From Garlits himself:

    Friends,
    I put my wife into the hospital Friday and Saturday the Doctor told me she would never come home! The very next morning I had a stroke, however I was rushed to the hospital and they got to me in time and I’m home now doing great. Just a small memory loss for about an hour! The good Lord was with me! Pray for both of us.
    Thanks,

    My thoughts and prayer are with Big and his family, he's had a lot to deal with lately with the loss of T.C. and with Pat going into the hospital. Get better soon !!

    The man's right - doctor's are NOT always right - I could write 3 pages of examples - but Don if you could live thru this wreck you can live thru anything - Pat too!

    In my thoughts and prayers for sure. One of the most approachable famous people that I've ever met. If you were ever fortunate enough to visit his museum when he was inside greeting visitors you really got a treat.
