to hear about Mike. When I saw him a few months ago, he seemed to be in great
shape. All my prayers and hopes go out to Mike and Ellen and of course the
entire Quarry family. Mike is a fighter through and through and maybe this
time, with a little help from God, the Quarrys will get a much deserved victory.

know that my prayers are with the Quarry family.My one regret was not meeting
Jerry.He inspired me to become a fighter.I knew Mike in the 70s in Orlando where
I boxed as a middleweight.Mike was a class act too.I didn't know he was
sick.Please send me any info about Mike if you have time.Thank you.Max Hord.|

great hopes that this has been caught in time this time. With Jim he found out
to late. I am trying to teach my mom how to use the computer so maybe she can
answer some of your questions about the boys but she is 76 so it is slow going
she uses one finger still. However she is very willing to try. So if anyone one
has questions post them and by next week she can answer them. Thanks again for
your prayers. Mike is a believer in GOD so i know he feels it is up to GOD how
things will go for him. bq |

do you remember Ray Ortega from Delano, when you played Basketball for North
high stars in BAKERSFIELD?? |
|1/4/03 04:35:51 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I spoke to Mike
yesterday and he seemed to be in good spirits and to be living his life as
always. I made no mention that I know about his illness. After all, how do you
bring a subject like this up? My feeling is he is a strong individual and like
I said, with God's help he can get through this. I live in his area and I will
help him in any way I can. It is nice to be able to give something back. Some
people ask me, "what is the big deal about the Quarrys? After all, the were just
fighters" The big deal is, the Quarrys have never acted like they are above
their fans. They are real down to earth people and this goes beyond what they
accomplished in the ring.|

life and times of JERRY QUARRY, A bout in San Antonio TX,vs ROY CREAR,JERRY was
decked in the second round of that bout by Crear,from a left hook to the face.Of
course Quarry took out Crear the next round with a right to the jaw.Quarry was
scheduled to fight Sonny MOORE, but Flores felt MOORE'S vast experience (Texas
Champion). MIGHT HAVE BEEEN A LITTLE TOO MUCH AT THE TIME.Flores said he wasn't
necessarily ducking Moore, but maybe an main event in the same arena in the near
