dreadni Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hello fellow dimers, tonight I share heavy hearted news with you all. Aole Espy(spelling) has had a terrible accident on Friday afternoon April 9th. I do not know the details and don't think it matters right now. He is in the hospital in Torrance at I believe the name is Harbor General. Aole is in a coma after undergoing surgery to relieve pressure on his brain from swelling. I am hoping some of you out there can say a little prayer for him and his family. I also hope that you can all just take it easy out there on the road. You know not the hour! Aole is a great person and is in the fight for his life and he needs us all to send him well wishes. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment

rayz510 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 His name is Aole Espy. You probably recognize him as the huge, buffed-out African-American guy that walks around the shows and meets with a huge smile on his face. We were actually going to do a show last weekend together in Long Beach. His car is that beautiful burgundy-red 2 door that is fully modded out with the flares, SSR wheels, aluminum interior, KA-turbo, etc. He won 3rd place at JCCS 2009 in the Best 510 category. I saw him yesterday at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance. He is in a coma with severe head trauma and possible internal bleeding. An MRI and EEG is scheduled for today. The doctors said that his brain pressure is stable and that his heart and lungs are functioning on its own. Please keep him in your prayers. Quote Link to comment

The Dat-side Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hoping for the best. Don't know him but looks like he's proud of the engine and car. Really too bad. Quote Link to comment
rayz510 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hoping for the best. Don't know him but looks like he's proud of the engine and car. Really too bad. He and a couple buddies put that car together all by themselves. His occupation as a "mechanical engineer" allowed him to do design some pretty tricked out stuff for his car. Quote Link to comment
