Praying for his family.

I was in show business for a number of years...owned rides and concessions. Still have close family members who do as well.

People have a dim attitude about show folks, generally, but guys like this are businessmen; with millions invested in equipment. Some of the best people I've ever known are carnies.

My heart goes out to all of the folks out there.
