Brian Carr, the president of HRB, underwent brain surgery on Thursday, February 12, 2008, at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics following a stroke and bleeding on the brain. His wife, Linda, found him unconscious at home and he was rushed to the hospital.
His surgeons say it will be at least 72 hours following surgery before they will know the impact of the stroke on Brian's body. We are all praying for a quick and complete recovery.
This was devastating news for our HRB family, and especially so for my partner Steve Erickson and me. The three of us have weathered the bad times and the good times as a team. That includes the terrible flood in June that destroyed our offices and forced us to relocate to space kindly made available by our friends at Fastek International. We just started our rebuilding effort so we can move back into our own offices.
We believe that Brian's upbeat and enthusiastic attitude will carry him through this.
He is surrounded by his loving family.
