Joe Mason

I just got word from Tex Skow that Joe Mason had a massive heart attack 4 days ago. They were able to put in a couple of stents, and he will be having bypass surgery in a couple of weeks. I am sure he would appreciate a call.

Thank you for the news, Don.
Please forward my very best wishes for his full recovery.
Joe may not remember me, I'm afraid.
Two years ago we met for the first time at the Atlanta Blade show.
But I have admired his work for a long time.
John.

Thanks Don, Steve, and John for all for all of your prayers and comments. I do remember you John. I still use the graver you gave me that was made from a carbide drill bit.

I had one artery that was 100% blocked. They were able to open it up and they placed a stint. I have have another artery that is 70% blocked that will be bypassed in 6 to 9 weeks.

Joe

Those stents are a wonderful thing, I have 2, never did get around to naming them but they sure are handy to have. Keep us posted and we are thankful you are still around.

Joe, May God watch over your shoulder and guide the doctors hands. Be safe and keep in touch. I only met you at the Blsde show a couple of years ago talking at the blade show. Just wanted to say that you will be in my prayers for the bypass. Just think of the scrim that I just posted, and you'll understand. Take care.

Best wishes Joe, I hope all goes well. I recently found about those blocked arteries. I had one that was 100% as well. It is now open and I am doing pretty good, hope the same happens with you. We have not met before but I think about you living in Brandon everytime I drive through there.

Hey Joe!

Glad that you're doing ok, and that you got to the Doc in time.
Keep the faith my friend, get some rest and lay off that fried alligator for a while.

Tim
