Davey Boy Schoolcraft (from his Go Fund Me page)
Gary Ottum (Ricky Kasmir) – Tumor Has Continued to Grow: From Ann Beard-Simmons: Family has been told. Saw the doctor yesterday tumor never stopped growing and growing with a vengeance. Surgery is not an option as it will leave him worse and will do no good. Trials are not an option as it requires surgery. Chemo will only give maybe and – that’s maybe – a couple of months. We’re not sure we will go that route. 6 months maybe 8 is pretty much all we have. Her last prescription for him “LIVE” . Enjoy what little time he has left.

Scott Temple: Well, here’s the update from the Drs a little while ago . First let me say I finally slept last night Yeah me. Now , it seems I may not be going home for a few more days Won’t know til about 9 am My new liver even though it’s a perfect match is showing signs of rejection . it’s not a major thing cause it’s only minor and they can treat it but would involve me getting steroid infusions for next 3 days that would keep me here . Will know more after they biopsy it about 8 am There is still a chance that they will release me but I would have to come back here for next 3 days As I said there is a chance I can go home but will know after the biopsy Please pray for me and my family.

Davey Schoolcraft – Recovering from Heart Attack and Surgery
Davey Boy Schoolcraft had a heart attack at our show at D’s Tavern on Halloween. The EMTs brought him back through CPR at the club. It was found that three of his major arteries were 100% blocked. He needed Triple Bypass Open Heart Surgery. The surgery was performed successfully. He is now home as he recovers from this major surgery. Now, Davey and his family needs our help to fund his hospital and medical costs. Lord knows over the past 25 or 30 years, Davey has helped many people raise money for their medical costs through playing many benefits and collecting cash funds. Now it is his turn to get help. Please donate to this worthy cause. Every little bit will help…thank you. I am Charles Cavanaugh, Davey’s best friend and band mate for over 35 years. We play in the band, Burnt Lips over this period of time. Davey needs these funds ASAP as the bills are mounting up. I, for one, along with his family will be so thankful for any amount of money we can raise, thank you.
Help spread the word!
