farmer52 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I received an email from Mike stating he is not going to be at Macungie this year. Mike is having some health issues and other issues as a result. Please keep him and his family and doctors in your prayers. Wishing and praying for a quick and full recovery. If or when Mike logs on and sees this note, he can detail his issues if he so desires.

Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted April 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2018 I just got off the phone with him. He asked that I let everyone on here know about what is happening.FIRST AND FOREMOST- HE ASKS THAT THIS STAYS OFF FACEBOOK. He does not mind you guys knowing what is going on but he wants to keep it off facebook as he does not want certain people knowing his business. Many of you are aware that he was treated about 3 or 4 years ago for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, a form of cancer. He was able to beat it, however it is a persistent form of cancer and often comes back, which it has. He begins some aggressive chemo treatment on Monday 4/30. He was kind of worried that he might have had to go to Pittsburgh for that but is able to do it locally. He will take it one day at a time. He is naturally upset, but keeping his head up. He approached his bosses late last week about the problem and explained that he would need time for treatment and to convalesce. He explained that he wanted to stay on part time for a while, as soon as he could go back to work, and then come back full time when he was able. His bosses fired him on Monday at a breakfast meeting. Mike has already seen an attorney who explained that as the Company is in New Jersey, they law is on their side, however he believes he may have a case and they will be filing a wrongful termination suit. This is what really has him upset right now. So for obvious reasons, Mike may or may not make Macungie depending on how hard the chemo kicks his arse. Please keep him in your thoughts and remember no mention of any of this publically on Facebook. 8 2 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53217-prayers-for-mike69mackman/#findComment-397588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
