    Came across a link to this thread while reading another.

    I did not know about Lil John Buttera's battle with Cancer

    Does anyone have any word on how he is doing?

    Thanks Leigh for the update. He has a lot of people who admire him on here and a regular update would sure be appreciated. Let him know there are those who feel his work is far from done and are waiting for his next contribution.

    are you stating a fact, or repeating internet rumors?

    He has always been a guy I admired. Someone I would call A craftsman.
    I would like to meet him.

    at 5:29 this evening leigh says his dad is fighting but still with us the Tbucket site says he passed this morning. I think people should get the info correct before they send it on.

    The person I called knew him through a shop in the area. He said he had heard it, but wasn't sure. I hope he and the T bucket sight were wrong and I appoligise if I have caused confusion and distress. The person I called is reliable, but he only said he had heard it.

    Leigh is Li'l John's daughter. I think people should get the info correct before they send it on.
     
  29. FFS, out of basic RESPECT....delete your post, if you've posted the incorrect facts! Just because another forum is uninformed, doesn't mean this one has to be.

    Get well John.
