I only know him through the boards and his deeds. But reading all the previous comments just confirmed what I had always thought. He will be sorely missed, and my thoughts go out to his family in these trying times.
Ride fast and straight Mike, pull the chute when you see the Pearly Gates. They'll have a pit spot ready for you.

I was just getting to know him. I can not express the words. Talked some very straight talk with him the last few days. Tx a lot. Do not know what to do... Seemed tiered last nite. I learned so much the past week or so. Learned he was a straight up good man. Some of you can understand how much we talked the past few days. I learned so much about the top end of the Pontiac world. And it was not just that. He told me about what was going on in his life. We talked for 1/2 hour on C mass eve at his moms house with his pit bull chasing his moms cat. Hanging out with his mom and kids. He told me about how his son was now doing better than before and he bought him a 79TA they were going to fix up. It was a olds car. His boy wanted to put a Pontiac in it. I have a 79 400 Ta. talked about stuff. John, he thought so much of you. Straight up told me. this fing sucks. I am not supposed to cry when someone dies you have never met but it has taken me most of an hour to type this. I was looking forward to so much, not just the parts but Mike. Talking to, meeting him. Very seldom you talk to/meet someone and you are 2 birds of a feather.
John, PM me please. I know you are going through so much, he was your real friend. I really do not know what to do. |

Woke up early this morning, could not sleep.
Logged on to the board and read 'Mike is gone'. So very sad. We PMed about his life and what he was trying to do with his car and the Pontiac Engine. Not every day, not once a month, just when the time was right. He was a "driven individual" his whole life apparently. RIP Mike. Tom V.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
