To our Chicago Fans:

So many of you have been very kind over the years with birthday and well wishes, I want to share some news with you before you saw rumors on the internet.

Five months ago, I was diagnosed with Alzheimers disease. Needless to say, my wife, daughters and myself were shocked and devastated. It has taken awhile to process this news and the fact is, we still are.

The good news is we have a wonderful medical facility here and I have a very good doctor. I am working hard and not going to give up. With new treatments and therapy, along with my family’s love and support, I feel very positive about the future.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I wish you and your families all the best in 2021 and always.

Walt
