To all my tiki fans just to let you know I am going to have knee replacement surgery Feb 16th I will be away from my carving for a couple of weeks but plan on being @ OA as soon as possible . Since I wont actually be carving tikis for awhile I can spend more time talking and reminiscing with friends call and come by OA I'd love to hear from you. You have been the ones keeping tikianna and my passion for carving alive. Please keep me in you prays and thoughts as I recoup and get use to my new bionic part.

Hey Leroy...I wish you Good luck and godspeed on your recovery! We'll see you soon @ OA!

My prayers for a speedy recovery are with you as well, sir.

Positive mana attracts positive mana. Your contributions to the positive nature of the human spirit is incalculable(I know my friends feel the same way too)

Well, that's very heart warming to hear because you are one of the main reasons we're all Tiki fanatics in the first place! Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a quick return to the carving bench!

Get well wiki wiki. Do what rehab tells you and get back to carving as soon as possible.
You are an inspiration!
Erik

you'll do fine - Its so much better these days - surgery (repairs) that is!
Let us know when you get back on line!

Lets talk about the Tarrytown NY Kona kai! - install 25 plus years ago?

Leroy, we'll be drinking toasts to your speedy recovery. Cheers to new knees! Much aloha from Napa Valley.

Time for the King to relax for a few weeks!

( make Bob get dirty!!! :wink:

CJ

I was just at your home base and was wondering where you were. Not to be a jerk but screw relaxing and get back to making some great stuff! If OA runs out I'll have to take some prisoners.

Hey Leroy, Wish you all the best and a speedy recovery!!
You have inspired, amazed and touched a lot of different people with your spectacular art and your warm kindness.
Time for a break and you'll be ready to chisel swing again!!

To your health, from way up in BC, Canada!
Take care, TabooDan

i hope when i round the block of new knees, they have the thing down pretty good... a week ago i was up... coming down on a snowboard praying my knees would not explode on the next run. And with all the snow we are finally getting... i'll take having a blow out pushing snow around rather then palm logs! if i do i know where i'll rest up.... Bob's Mai Tai are pretty good, and a Leroy story ain't bad either.....
GET WELL SOON!

Keep your sunny side up & do what the Doktor tells you to and more; it's really alot of work getting yourself up & around.

MR LeRoy, luv ya buddy !

Damn!
LeRoy,
Your temporary setback is our gain.
May you have a speedy recovery, but until then, stock the bar and have a seat, because we have a shit load of questions to ask you! (all good ya know)
Welcome back.

WOW! The Six Million Dollar Leroy!!

About time....Glad to hear you're getting that taken care of. You're too much of a bull to be grazing in the fields!

Speaking of grazing bulls, Kiara and I will come by soon for our Steak 'n Stein date with you and Bob.

Take care and get that saw n' chisel back in your paws!

Leroy,

Here's wishing you a super speedy recovery.

BTW, I named the the Tikiyaki Stage tikis you designed and had made for us "Bob" and "Leroy".

Looks like I need to pay a visit to OA soon and say hello.

If it weren't for you and Bob, we'd have very little to talk about on this forum. :)

Leroy,

Well wishes for a speedy recovery from all of us at Tiki Magazine. Hope to see you soon.

Nick

Best wishes, Leroy, for a speedy recovery!

Your work has always been an inspiration, enjoy the well deserved time off while you heal up!

..get well soon!! and relax....you deserve a break from carving.....perhaps they can fit your knees with some hydralics so you can lift logs twice your weight with no problems....:)

Good luck with the surgery, Leroy. We're gonna have to get you a Hula Girls CD to listen to while you're in recoup mode...
Take care.

Get well soon!!

Here's wishing a speedy recovery to an exceptionally friendly, welcoming and talented gentleman!

Ouch! That doesn't sound fun, Leroy. Let's just hope this scalpel weilding doc isn't looking at your leg as a blank canvas!!

Much luck and let us know how you're doing!

Hey Leroy,

Hope they've given you a good quantity of quality meds, and that they're kickin' in nicely for you.

Libby and I enjoyed seeing you again a couple weeks ago, and we expect to be back to visit for a materials run before too long. Maybe you'll show off your sexy new scars.

Heal up soon and well, and our good wishes for your speedy recovery. Oh yes, one last word -- Kneepads. Can't recommend 'em highly enough. And I've got my reasons.

Best Aloha,
SOK

Wishing you the best Leroy,from all here in San Diego!

I hope that the complications aren't too complicated and that your recovery is smooth and easy.

And thank you for helping to make my home the strange and charming place that it has become over the past several years.

The best there ever was.

Leroy,
you looked good when I was so fortunate to visit OA from Pittsburgh in Dec of '07. You and Bob are rock stars! You looked good then, you'll look and feel great real soon! You go, Tikibionico!
