I have some very bad news. On friday Cory the lead fabricator for Helion was backing the truck into the shop to load up parts to send out and had a massive heart attack (he is 29). The truck rolled on it's own with him in it and did a ton of damage to the boxed parts that were waiting on the floor to be loaded, including a few targa tops, a roof, a pair of doors for an Aston program and a few other odds and ends. Nothing that was ready to go was salvageable. The truck got wedged into the side of the building between the wall and the paint booth doing massive damage to both the booth and the building, not to mention the truck.

The ambulance was called immediately and got there within 15 minutes and he was rushed to the hospital. He was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect and underwent a quadruple bypass on saturday morning. Todd spent the weekend at the hospital with the family and returned to work today to start dealing with the aftermath, including the ensuing OSHA investigation, insurance claims/investigations, dealing with the landlord AND all those who had parts to be shipped out.

Needless to say things are not going well right now at Helion. If you have paid for parts from Todd please send me a pm and I will do my best to help out, whether that be getting alternative parts or a refund. Please send me specifics like your name, address, part ordered, payment date and amount, etc so I can help Todd as best that I can. While I am no longer a part of Helion as I once was Todd is still a great friend and really needs the help right now.

I also ask that you take a moment out of your day and think about/pray/worry for Cody as he has a long, painful recovery ahead of him.
