I always make it a point to read folks signatures here on the boards... always looked at Mikes with a sense of humor. Hard to do that this morning, as it really seems to hit home.
"__________________ Being dead, it is not hard on you. You don't even know you're dead. It is hard on everyone else that is not dead... " I didn't even really know Mike at a personal level (beyond the PY boards), yet hearing this news is hard on me, and obviously many others. He'll be missed. Helluva guy.

This is so sad. Mike was such a down to hearth cool guy who liked racing and hunting. He will always be remembered.

At a total loss for words. Mike would always swing by my place here in Illinois when he was on his way to his hunting farm. Often times , bringing the boys along. The boys went swimming in our pool a couple of times and my wife always commented on how polite and respectful they were. A great reflection on how Mike raised them. God speed my friend.

OMG! I am at a total loss to wake up to the news about Mike. I like everybody else met him at Norwalk and had the pleasure of getting to know him on a personal level. Mike and I seemed to be thinking the same thing on occasions and he would either call or I would call him and it was always the same thing. "hey man I was just thinking about you and was going to call you" and then we would get on some discussion about cars or him coming to Illinois to hunt. I went up to meet with him when a buddy bought his old trailer and had a long conversation and neither of us wanted to stop and go home. Mike you will be missed! John I am so sorry! I lost a close friend 6 years ago today and still have a hard time dealing with this date! He truly thought the world of you! Godspeed and prayers to his family! its just not supposed to be like this.

I didn't get to know Mike personally but had a couple of really fascinating phone conversations with him about fast Pontiacs. Huge loss. A couple of thoughts:
Live life large, you never know when your last day is coming. (I sensed Mike did this). Racing is dangerous but public roads are worse. RIP Mike, Eric

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.
