Last week i could not get a hold of the man, by phone,e-mail or any other way that i could contact him!!! this was not like him....thru another member on this forum gave me the idea of contacting the local sheriff for a welfare check!....I am greatfull i did..it took me 1 hour to get thru to the right agency in the sheriffs department! but, after i had contacted the right place ...20 minits later at 2pm i had a call from a officer:biggrin_25514:. I exsplaine the situation !!! my hat is off to the law enforcement who took the time repeatedly to go back to souther prides home..At 9 30 at night he was sitting infront of the home pretty much calling it quits...when southern prides wife pulled in the driveway......... It seems souther pride went for his check up at the docs and had a second stroke and was immeditly taken to the hospital..today is sept 29 th as they have found that southerpride will need a triple bypass which will take place on sept 30 thrusday.......i will keep you updated as i find out more as southerpride progress..his wife is in contact with me ...i am glad that his son has flown in from San antonio to help his mom and pop out in this difficult time...............even tho some disagree with southern pride. this man is vast form a knowledge in this buisness..i my self in numorouse conversation have learned alot.......my best wishes go to him and his family and a very big prayer to the man upstairs that all gos well:biggrin_25514: thank you for putting up with my spelling just thought you should know a fellow trucker is in need of support thanks dino:biggrin_25514:

    That probably explains the strokes right there. Thanks for the post Dino. Southern is lucky to have a good friend like you, and we're glad your here to keep us up to speed as to what is going on with him.

    Prayers and positive thoughts to Southern, his wife and family.

    I wish him luck and hope he makes it through all of this. I have learned a lot from the man and he has been nothing but nice to me.
