As some of you may or may not know life long Mopar expert Dave Patik is very ill and fighting cancer.  Dave has become a very good friend of mine and I have had many talks with his brother, and his brother asked me if i could help by posting a link to the GoFund Me page they set up to help with bills.   I spoke with Dave last night for about 5 mins. (but he gets very winded) however, he sounded much better than a month ago- but he has a tough journey ahead.  I wasn't sure where I should have posted this so if the Moderators need to move it that will be fine.  I know Dave will appreciate anything you could donate.  Thanks  Tom

Thanks for posting on this thread, Tom, On behalf of David Patik/Performance Car Graphics, this is Richard Patik (his brother) thanking everyone for their help in this fight David is in. He's a wonderful person, brother, Mopar guru and entrepreneur. He's a straight-up, honest, hard working man whose uncompromised priorities always have been quality, accuracy and fairness and, as many on this board no doubt have experienced, he loves to freely share his intricate knowledge of Mopars. His first car was a 1969 Dodge Charger, (okay, technically it was a 1962 Chrysler New Yorker with push-button gear shifting) which I later used to learn to drive as well as on his blue 440 Daytona and '70 Hemi Cuda! The Cuda had a manual choke at the time and manual steering. Quite a load for a scrawny novice driver. But it makes a great story 44 years later that not many can tell. David is home from the hospital now, resting a lot, doing a little work, exercising, working hard to stay positive and get back to the things he loves. He's getting a little stronger, but there are many tough battles ahead. He and all of us in the Patik family are grateful for your generosity, support and kindness.
