Jack Haley is very ill
He has been hit with Pneumonia, Shingles and now an intestinal disorder.
At the present itme he can’t get out of a chair without help.
He asks everyones patience who has ordered a rifle and fully aware of his committment to you and will fulfill it as soon as he can work again.
Regards,

I talked with him yesterday while he was in the hospital and after he got out today.
Gtting out was good for him, he is in good spirits.

I too have been thinking positive thoughts for Jack and Reba. My buddy asked me last week if I had heard of a Haley air rifle? I told him yes. …and say a prayer for him; he’s ill.
7 years with the love of you life is better than none. That being said, it must be a real source of grief, to this day, having her gone. Things just aren’t the same without them. “There ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone”.
“After 13 gruelling days in hospital pain is to point of tolerating and he starts chemo next week to help shrink it for more pain relief so he can strengthen left lung to tolerate removal of right He wants to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers it has kept his spirits up knowing so many were pulling for him At this time asking for continued prayers to see him through the next phases We owe it all to our Awesome God and it is in his hands He wants ya’ll to know he is not giving up and emphatically states he will be back Thanks Jack and Reba Haley”
keep up the fight Jack
I know exactly where you are coming from Ted. I do a lot of praying, and am thankful for every day with Manuela.

God Ted, if I wasn’t such a tough old sonofabitch, that would make me cry.
Nothing more valuable than true love my friend.

When I met and fell in love with her, she told me that “there is no future in me; I am already living on borrowed time”! I told her that none of us have an expiration date stamped on us and that I could get killed on my Harley or in my truck the next day.
We ended up getting married and I was extremely fortunate for the 7 years that we spent together! She loved to ride Harleys and we did weekend trips on the bike and camping. She always carried an oxygen bottle with her but, she would seldom need it. Tina developed pancreatic cancer and it eventually took her life.
I am sure that Tina would have loved to have only a couple of ribs and one lung removed!
Hey: it is late at night and I have had a few beers! It all boils down to if you want to keep going or not.
If Jack is a fighter, like Tina was, he will get back up and keep going in no time!
Sorry for your loss but happy that you shared such quality time together.
The love of my life ended up with 1/3 of one lung left and was told that she would only last 6 months. I met her 10 years after she was told that she only had 6 months left to live.

Good spirits is more than half the battle. Amen. God speed his healing!
Thanks. RC good to hearJack is in good spirits, that’s 90% of the battle right there
Jack and Reba have a lot of folks pulling for them in thoughts and prayers, I hope that helps.
Reba sent me an email yesterday, they think they will have to remove one lung and three ribs. Jack is good spirits tho.
Remember John Wayne and a lung removed under what would be primitive conditions by today standards and he lead a productive life and killed a lot of bad men afterwards.

“We are now in ICU at Rush Hospital in Meridian Ms Jack has right lower lung cancer that has eroded into his ribcage He developed a pneumothorax and they are inserting a chest tube to give him some relief He will have a bronchoscope Monday and from that we will know more of his percentages and our options Reba”
