Mike is old school and allways was. Mike had a on going issue with one of the members here and withdrew his membership with this site. and beleive me I spent countless hours trying to convince mike back, we still talk but like I said mike is old school and set in his ways .

Twin, I think that is a fantastic idea, of course Mike is still here but your spot on with your idea.
I never met Mike either but read lots of his post and even bought parts from him, He is a legend in his knowledge of econos and yes everybody knows Vanishing Breed, you have to tip your hat to him for the time and money he spent to make that van happen, no doubt one of the most recognizeable early econos in the world.
As far as a person Mike is very straight forward, He will tell you what he thinks and some people get rubbed the wrong way by that. I admire the fact that he professes his Christianity and his love for God. The Bible says we are not to be ashamed and he certainly is not. I wish him the best in this time of tribulation and may God give him the strength to get through it.

Very sad to hear this.
I never had the privilege to get to know Mike.
I know Mike was very good friends with Dennis, He was a damn good guy and always willing to help out.
My prayers go out to the family.
RIP Mike.
