R.I.P. Mike. You were a great man, a great father, and a hell of a hunter. I enjoyed our many long talks we had about life. I am at a loss for words right now. You'll be greatly missed my friend.

My heart just dropped! I can't believe my good friend is gone. Mike is truly a stand up man, father, and friend. You will be missed buddy. Not many left like you. RIP my friend.

Hang in there John. I lost a close friend in late October. It's not easy.

Well the good news(for lack of better words) is his son Aaron was in the car with him and is( im told ) unhurt. Knowing Mike that is all that he would have been concerned about because that's the type of father he was.

Oh, holy sh*t. My heart totally dropped as I read this. Mike was a great guy. Got to know him a little, pitting by him a few years at Norwalk.

My heart goes out to his his family and friends.
