Default 'tech' is in the Hospital - Please read

I cant believe I missed this...copied from Volvospeed:

Posted 07 June 2012 - 05:45 PM
Alan Johnson (Tech) is a really nice guy in Orlando. Many of the Florida crew know him and can vouch for what a great guy he is. Well, I am asking for my fellow VS'ers to say a prayer for him tonight and maybe drop him an email letting him know you care. Alan had a heart attack at work today and is in the hospital. Dr's hat to put 3 stents in him and he now seems to be stable. he is going to be in the hospital for about 4 more days while he recovers. Alan has 4 kids at home ranginf from around 4 to 17. I am sure he feels terrible that he is worrying his children and not there to comfort and be with his family. I would like to ask each of you that read this to A- say a prayer for Alan and his family tonight. That he makes a speedy recovery. B- Shoot Alan an email at alans26@aol.com and just let him know you are thinking about him. I am sure something like this at such a young age makes Alan feel pretty vulnerable and scared right now. lets show him that the volvo community cares about him. Shoot him an email. 2 minutes of your time. Can we do that?

Great guy! I met him in person at my house and he was helping me change my pcv on my 850 T5 we had a great time talking. He will be good, he is a strong person and he will make it. Get better Tech!

Never met him but he has helped me a lot with figuring out what was wrong with my car and giving me instructions on how to fix it. Saving me a ton of money that I didn't have to spend. I wish him a fast recovery and knowledge to get and stay well. I will continue to pray for him and his family. Robert

Thank You for all the kind words and prayers!!!
Yes I am home and have a pretty long road to fully recover but I am getting there slowly.

I would never wish this on my worse enemy. I was in surgery 3 times in less than 18 hours.

Again thank you for the prayers!

Tech, I am so thankful to hear you made it thru the surgery and there is nothing like being at home to recover. You, your wife, and your kids are all in my prayers for full recovery. May God bless you and your family.

I also want to join this community and also say "thanks" for all that you do for all of you have never met.
