Default Keep Lars in your thoughts.

As some of you are aware, Lars Grimsrud had some medical issues a few years ago with neck nerve problems. He was losing usage of one arm. He had a serious surgery procedure that corrected the problem, up until about two months ago. He has been undergoing less invasive treatment, but to no avail.

I think we can all agree that his unselfish service to the automotive community has been invaluable, and we wish him speedy and effective treatment.

Our thoughts are with you brother.

Ralph

Wow, thanks for the update... I've been chatting with him regularly over the past few months and I had no idea of his health issues... That's why he's DA man!! He has always talked with me and answered every email and newbie question...

Thanks for the update. I truly hope for a full and complete treatment and recovery.

I have all of his papers. I even printed them off and made "supplements" to my GM service manuals. HE pointed me in the right direction with a severe rich condition on my Q-jet.

Get Well Soon Lars.

Get well soon Lars. I have my own "Lars" folder filled with much of the stuff you posted to help others with their cars.

I know a lot of his friends hang out more on the C2 Forum, so if someone can double post this over there, or tell me how, I'd appreciate it.

Ralph.

Wishing you strength and solid healing, Lars. Hope you're up and enjoying a tad bit of your favorite micro-brew, as allowed or prescribed.


Thanks for all you do.

I think he rarely frequents this Forum, anymore. If you want to share your thoughts and send 'well-wishes', use his e-mail:

Keep the shiny side up!

Gotta agree, Lars is a good guy, as helped me out a few times. For those who don't know, neck problems are just as bad, or worse than back problems. Knew a couple guys walking around with a supportive halo rig that bolted to their head, and can't be the most pleasurable thing. Good news, is they recovered quite well.
