The more original CTT forum members will know the name Big Boy, well

[ChiefEagles]

Lat I talked to was [last week, I think].  He was not of good spirits but was OK.  Still painful.  Had not gotten the Lymph Node Bio back then.  Need to call him.

Elliot,

 

Your'e a treasure to our hobby.  I loved your bit in TM videos on making a tinplate layout and your spot on Entertrainment.  BIGBOY, WE MISS YOU AND WISH YOU THE BEST.  You've been great to me in responses on this site and give that growth/problem #@%^$#$#!!!!

Roy,

Thanks for bumping this up.  Until now I wasn't aware that Elliot was doing poorly.  I hope he's better now and on the road to a speedy recovery.  Get well soon , Elliot!

Chief, please do pass along my best wishes and let him know he is in our prayers.  Just watched the video on Fastrack again, and I Hope to see Elliot back in full swing and in some more informational videos (as well as his presence here).

Thanks for the update on Big Boy but this is the kind of news we all deplore. I will be praying for your surgery to be successful and your health to be restored as quickly as possible.

Prayer combined with the right mental outlook work together to prepare a person for whatever life brings our way. Big Boy we will keep you covered with our prayers and you keep your head up and looking down the tracks!

Warmest Regards from Alaska!

To all,

Thanks Chief for the update.  I remember some of Bigboy's posts and the article on his layout in the Mall of America.  It is too bad that did not draw the business it needed to keep going.  I hope all turns out for him.  For the newer members to the "coffeepot", we have a powerful group of prayer partners.  I know from personal experience.  Count me in on the list.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Chief,

Thanks for the update. I'll certainly keep Elliot in my prayers as he goes in for surgery next week. 

[ChiefEagles]

None but this Thursday is the big day for surgery.  Thought I'd call next Monday.

[Blueberryhill RR]

Any news on Elliott ???

[nblum]

My best wishes to Elliott for a complete and rapid recovery. 

[tmcc man]

Chief, thanks for the notice. BigBoy is in my prayers now.

[mackb4]

Yes I remember BigBoy.And I'll remember him in my prayers.I have been wondering about him lately.Prayer is a great medicine.This exact time last year my Dad was very sick in the hospital and had two operations.He had complications from one of the surgerys and landed right back in the hospital.He has recovered now nicely and is as mean as he ever was.But prayer and doctors guided by God,got him though it.

[marxalot]

Big Boy very kindly helped me out on several of my earliest posts. He has been added to our family's prayer list.

Hope Elliot gets better! He sure is a nice guy, he has done so much for me and many others on the board!

 

He even gave me an "R" tranny when I found out my 40 watt starter set one couldnt handle postwar accesories that I got from Dr. Fu. Its still working great, Its a nice transformer, I have replaced the cord and put new lenses on it.

 Thanks for the notice Chief-  I hope Elliot's Cancer is not life threatning & all goes well for him. Take Care all.

[palallin]

First round said; more to come. If you talk to him again, let him know we're all pulling for him!

[Dr. John]

Chief, thank you for letting us know about Elliot. He'll be in my prayers.

All the best to Elliot. Never met the man, but I remember his contributions here and I have the TM videos which I watch every now and then, particularly during the holidays.

Wishing him a speedy and full recovery.

[Blueberryhill RR]

BIG BOY.....You are in our prayers. Get well soon.
