Rocket Ron
« on: December 12, 2016, 05:35:58 pm »
Heymow members hope everyone is doing well this last couple of weeks. Wanted to reach out and see if anyone has heard from Rocket Ron in a while? Spoke with him a couple of weeks ago however didn't sound real well! I've been calling for the last week or so however his cell phone has been off and Voicemail is not setup at this time. Please me know if anyone has any news please.


Much appreciated

Andrew

I spoke with Johnny Chappell today and he said Rocket Ron was back answering his phone when he can. I know when you don't get your parts when ordered it's aggravating but remember Ron has been battling CANCER for a while now and it recently came back, not making excuses but try to be understanding for him please. Between that and medication I'm sure thats part of it.

Glad to hear he is back at it. Always been an amazing guy to me. He helped me in so many ways. Such good news to hear he is doing better. Will send up a prayer he continues to recover.
