Title: Firko not well.
Post by: farmer58za on June 27, 2021, 08:29:02 am

Hi All

I saw on FB that Firko (Mark Firkin) is not well. He suffered a stroke some weeks ago and has been in ICU but he's recovering slowly.

Keep him in you thoughts and prayers and if you know him I'm sure he'd appreciate get well wishes on a mail or text or a post on FB

Thanks
David

70 way too young,though a life filled with his passion.
RIP Firko and thank you for support and elevation of the Sprite/ American Eagle and Alron thread.
