Need Prayers Please

[Wildchild80]

Hey Guys I am sure all of you know or heard of Dick Vale, He is one of the greatest custom painters of all time and a great guy. He has been fighting a battle with cancer for the past few years and it has taken a turn for the worst. Please remember my good friend in your prayers.

Before I knew of Billy the name I would here of was a Dick Vale paint job. Get well and thought and prayers.

[GofastRacer]

Very sad indeed, thoughts and prayers go out to him!..:(

[coolchange]

Sad news. Hope he improves. He could take an order for a 2 color paint job and make it look like a dozen different colors with blending and shading. Definately an Icon.

[Jordy]

You know, on the bright side, I hope Dick prank calls Billy at least a couple times a day still, just to keep his spirits up!!! :)

All the "HILLS" are pulling for him!!!! When you are with Dick, you want to pull your shirt off and have him autograph you chest....He's such a HUMBLE person...He never thinks of himself as a "Von Dutch" or "ELVIS"...Damn, what talent!!!!

"Father God, I know your holding Dick Vale in the palm of your hand. Your the creator of all things and have the power to restore him to full health. Father God I pray that you will bring a peace over his family at this difficult time with this tough situation. In the name of your Son, Our Savior, Jesus Christ... Amen."

[DAVEY B]

Dave, I am truely sorry to hear this! I know how close you and Dick are.Our thoughts and prayers our with you and Dick. :)

Never met the gentleman but have seen his work in many pictures. Finally have had a chance to see his work personally when a buddy bought a boat he painted and it's breathtaking. Clearly a craftsman and my hopes are that he puts this illness behind him and has many years of work ahead of him so we can all benefit...... Hope you get well soon Dick

I was just thinking about him when I saw you at Parker and was wondering how he was doing, really sorry to hear this Dave. My prayers are with him.

Al Stoker and I went by and visited Dick, today...(11/30/07)...He had a neck brace. He was taping and painting some, maybe RC truck...He looked good, good color...Al and I joked with him. Hee joked with us.....Not sure of his exact words, but something to the effect, he was doing OK, and was glad people were thinking about him.....
Not sure it is fair, to visit a guy who hasn't been doing too well, and come away feeling better...Dick just has a way, you know!!!!!!

[warlock 27]

He will be in my prayers
