Bruce Barker

Those of you who know longtime GTA sportscaster Bruce Barker will know he has a heart as big as the great outdoors.  He suffered a stroke late last month that has affected his speech and his right side.  I hope you'll keep him in your prayers as he battles this.  A GoFundMe account has been set up to help defray his medical costs.  I've included the link should anyone wish to chip in.
Many thanks!

Re: Bruce Barker

Thanks for posting this.  My initial reaction was to change the subject line since I believe, as I did, when people see it they'll think the worst.  But in a case like this, hopefully the relief that it's not what they thought will drive them to do something to help.

What a great guy, and as you said, a heart as big if not bigger than most people I know.

Madness takes its toll.  Please have exact change.

Re: Bruce Barker

Thanks Iain.  I did consider an altered subject line but posted it that way for exactly the reason you suggest.

Re: Bruce Barker

Just like Barks...that bites.  I remember the good things he did for me...and others when I worked with him.  This shit isn't supposed to happen to the good guys.
