Stay tough Dave. Last November my dad (71) was diagnosed with a golf ball size tumor in the center of his brain. They also found cancer in his left lung(small cell carcinoma). He had brain surgery first then radiation and finally 20 chemotherapy treatments. I saw all of it. He went to hell and back. I talked to him this afternoon and he is doing well. He was positive during the whole thing and had lots of support. So I've seen first hand what can be done. Stay strong....... Ed

So sorry to hear this about a great person. I don't race stock or super stock but I was very fortunate to be introduced to Dave by a co worker who used to be Dave's neighbor at one time Dave fixed a set of heads for me and a friend was made. I used to stop by the shop just to say hello and to listen to his stories. When I built my house it wasn't on my way home to stop by It had been at least 2 years since I had stopped by I saw him at Kilkare last year and I went up to him and I said you probably don't remember me and he said give me a minute and then he said Mike. Dave you and your family are in my prayers.

keeping my good buddy Dave Layer in my thoughts tonight as Dave is going through some really rough times right now. Stay strong DeDe & Lindsey Layer .

Joe,

That video is awesome. Thought and prayers to Dave and his family. I hope he starts to turn the corner real soon. He certainly has an uphill battle in front of him. I lost my dad a few years back due to complications from a major stroke. Very difficult time for my family. Best wishes. Mike.

This family is on my mind practically every minute of every day...you won't find two stronger women than Lindsey and DeDe right now...they have been at Dave's side (as well as most of the family) for the last nine days...we are keeping these great friends in our thoughts and prayers.
