I haven't logged into PY but a handful of times in the last few years (just been busy with life - married, kids, work, the usual). And I don't remember ever having talking with Mike on the forum posts - but my heart goes out to him and his family. I'm glad I did log in today so that I can in some small way help...

We lost my wife's mom to cancer mid last year and it crushed my wife. Related, I lost my dad when I was 13 in a sudden accident -- so I relate to what he's worried about with his kids. Through perseverance and love I'm sure his family will be OK no matter what and I hope Mike takes whatever comfort he can in that. And while they wait for perseverance to kick in, I'm donating what I can spare to the paypal account.

Best to you, Mike!

I've not known what to say as every time I look in this thread it royally breaks me up. If there was a way I could ease Mike's and his family's pain I'd do it heart beat. But alas I can't. Know that we think of you every day Mike and will keep on doing so. You and those others from PY will not be forgotten.

Here's to you Mike, someone we've all looked up to and admired. To all here and Mike this is a tribute to the fallen of our military, But I also feel it's a dam good tribute to Mike as well.

Myself, Paul, Rob, Carole, and Dale had a great visit with Mike tonight. Had a chance to meet Mike's girlfriend Chris and one of his best friends, Troy. Great folks that are taking excellent care of Mike. Not sure where to really start, but Mike is good! He is at peace with everything and ready for the next chapter. Had good discussions, told good stories, talked a lot about the great folks in the Pontiac hobby. As Mike said more than once during our visit..."good times". More details to come regarding all the great folks in this hobby and Mike's wishes. Love ya man!
