Most people here probably know Richard "Sinc" Sincovec. I found out yesterday through another message board that Sinc went into Hospital on Friday. There wasn't a lot of detail except that his illness is affecting his kidneys and liver, and he is apparently not doing well.
Please aim your good thoughts, prayers etc towards his family and friends in Colorado.
Sorry to hear this. If you get more information, please share it.

He definitely makes some good contributions to this forum.

You will also see his banner ad rotate through here in the forum.
In addition, and god help me I don't screw this up, he either studied, or has a degree in Physics from Cal-Poly Tech. That guy is sharp. Get well soon.
Very sad news. My thoughts go out to him and his family.
get better
best wishes for a speedy recovery
get better
come on Sinc, get well
Thoughts and prayers for Richard.
Speedy recovery for Richard!

If that's the same guy and with a resume like that I'm surprised we haven't crossed paths.
Best wishes in any event.
Here's the latest info from The Swamp:
I heard from Sinc's dad about an hour ago. His condition improved substantially overnight. They are now cautiously optimistic. He is responding to voice commands and moving in bed. His Dad sounded quite relieved today compared to last night.
thanks for the update & the good news,
Chr.
:good: Glad to hear it!

More good news! Here's a quote from his sister an hour, or so, ago.
Quote from: Rinah
He is now talking and able to recognize himself and family, and the doctor said it's a miracle he's alive. He's not out of the woods yet, so I ask you my friends to please keep my brother in your thoughts and prayers, because something saved him once and I can't lose him right now. Thank you, friends.
A good guy always willing to help you...a few years ago Sinc helped me put our cad enviroment together...Glad to hear he's doing better...Our thoughts and prayers...
