Gary Casto to Undergo Kidney Surgery

Gary Casto, manger and lead vocalist of Tribute Quartet, will undergo surgery on Thursday to remove a kidney stone that is embedded in his kidney. Gary experienced some problems on the road last weekend, prompting a visit to the emergency room at Lebanon, Mo., while the group was there to perform on the Brumley Sing. He was able to finish the weekend, but after returning home was admitted to the hospital for more extensive tests which showed the kidney stone had become impacted in the kidney, causing the kidney to cease function.
On Tuesday, doctors performed a surgical procedure to correct part of the problem, and on Thursday, they will do a second procedure that will hopefully completely resolve the issue.
Tribute Quartet requests your prayers for Gary as he undergoes the second procedure tomorrow morning. He plans to miss no tour dates.
Get-well cards or notes can be sent to: Tribute Quartet, P. O. Box 454, Hendersonville, TN, 37077 or office@tributequartet.com.

My prayers are with Gary. I loved that the press release stated “no tour dates will be missed”. I can believe it! The group I was with did a concert with Gary while he was with the Wilburns, and Gary passed a kidney stone during the intermission and finished the concert. Anyone that has had kidney stones (like I have) would be impressed with Gary’s pain tolerance level! You may be short Gary, but you da man! God bless!

Hi Gary.. you guys were great last week end in Sarnia Ont. at Gospel by the Bay,
great harmony, a great spirit in the place while you were singing..and no one would ever know you were in pain at that time. you really did exert yourself but God was with you. we really enjoyed the evening and it was cool seeing y’all again.
we just want you to know we’re praying and expecting a miracle for you.
You take care of yourself and we’ll see you again in Gatlinburg, and we’re believing that God will heal you before that time.
Love & Blessings !
