Default Pray for Wil Cooksey and Family

Wil cooksey was in a motorcycle accident and is currently in intensive care. From what I heard, the accident occured in Kentucky, but he was airlifted to Tennessee for special care. I don't know more than that now, but our club is praying for him.

If you dont know, Wil cooksey spent most of his career working in BG in the production and design of the Corvette. He recently retired and is considered a 'Champion' of the modern corvette and was (I believe) BG plant manager.

I just met him in Ft Worth at the 20th Lone Star Corvette Classic. Very nice man.

God Speed Will.

Wil and his wife Liz are two of the most amazing people that I know. He is strong. He is an avid rider. Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery my friend.

Aye, we were going to call Liz, but we decided against it until things develop further.

I just learned that Wil is back home. He needed surgery on his leg that was broken in the crash but is home recovering.
