MG TD TF 1500 - Dave Dubois

This just reported from Doug Pelton. Very sad news about a valued member of the community...

-----

This is a health update for those that know or have done business with Dave Dubois. I consider him the subject expert on our little tick tick SU fuel pumps. He is not doing well as you can see by his wifes note below. If anyone would like to drop a note of encouragement Daves email is: sufuelpumps@donobi.net

This is Liz, Dave's wife, responding for him. Last February, after 13 years in remission, Dave's lymphoma returned with a vengeance. He was put on chemo therapy which we thought (hoped) was working. But by August the lymphoma bounded back and he went to a brutal 5-day chemo session in the hospital following by 15 days recovery at home. After 5 or the 6 planned cycle, it wasn't working and he was getting worse. The doctor switched him to an oral chemo, with the eye to getting him in condition to go to Seattle for CAR-T Cell Therapy. He also tried radiation to stop the pain in an enlarging mass on/in his lung. Nothing worked; we never made it to Seattle. He spent Friday in the ER, was back in the ER on Sunday and remained in the hospital until we brought him home Friday afternoon. He is now on Hospice...so very sad!. He has fought lymphoma since mid-February and, as he told me the other day, "I just want to go home". David, our son, came from Pennsylvania to help out and he has been a real blessing.

Very sad to hear this. I never met Dave but he was extremely helpful since I switched to T Types. God bless.

"I just want to go home"... I've heard those words spoken to me too. It's real tough and I wish peace and strength to Dave and his family.

Sorry to hear about Dave. He was a real attribute in the MG world. I bought some things from him that are still on my car.

Dave is a credit to our MG community. He has assisted so many owners over many years. Great knowledge and a caring attitude.

All of us feel Dave's pain. He is always ready to answer my questions. I met him at MG2016 in Louisville. He's just as good in person as on-line.

Thanks for the news, Steve - sad though it may be. Dave is in my prayers. I did send a brief email his way to which his wife responded. Here's hoping that he makes a turn for the better.

I sent them a note and also received a response from Liz. Been over to Dave's home a couple of times. Great person and a shining example of a great MG guy.

Just read this; I've been away from the MG community for a couple of years now. Dave was very helpful and answered many questions for me. Will keep my fingers crossed...
