I got the call I have been hoping I would not get today. Mike passed away this afternoon with Betty by his side. I have been thinking a lot about what I was going to say. He was a great friend to alot of people even some he never met in person. Please continue to pray for Betty. I will miss Mike a lot as will a lot of other people. I was told the funeral will be tomorrow afternoon but I will update as soon as I get the arrangement details.
Mrs. PBB-- Betty, So sorry to read this mornings news. BE STRONG take comfort in your family and try to see the brighter side of this Mike is no longer in pain but is still going to be with you, and always will be.
I can feel little bit of what you are going through as my wife of 50 years had cancer in 09 and 10 THANK GOD we caught it in time. We went to MDA also at the insistence of our daughter, they are the best. Have FAITH in the Lord. Ross Puls
I fear he may have struggled too long and suffered to much. Not sure I could have done the same in his shoes. And he did it with dignity and courage and a smile.
Very sad to hear of Mike's passing...Mike's professionalism and kindness was always evident on this site with his communications with others.
He is a champion for the way he handled this trial with dignity, courage, and perseverence, never complaining, just informing us of his journey. He has given us all an example how to deal with life's problems. Hopefully, we won't get caught up in the small, trivial things that bug us any longer, but see how a brother has shown us how, with faith and grace to deal with life's challenges.
God rest your soul in peace, Mike. And may the Lord bless and comfort his family now and ever thru this time of sorrow.
I purchased a P gun from Mike a couple of months ago. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and a complete pleasure to deal with.
Mike wanted me to be happy with the gun, and took care of that. He told me to shoot it awhile, and if I didn't like it ..... send it back for a full refund.
Amazing that a person would do that in this day and age. Mike did beautiful work, and I feel priveleged to own one of his old "toys".
Mike Though I never met you but I seen the threads you have written on TS.com and the passion that you had for the Trapshooting sport we love I truly hope that you're pain is gone and you are breaking and dusting targets with all of you're friends you haven't seen in the long time, RIP you pain has been dismissed . God bless you're family and you're wife Betty.
Again, I'm trully saddened by the news of his death. He will be greatly missed by all the peoples lives he touched. I too think he had suffered more than any man should have to. May he rest in Peace and be truly pain free. The phrase "All GOOD" will now mean something very special to me now, and forever!!!. May you Break-em all everyday in the heavens w/ Pat. May God Bless. Break-em all. Jeff
Mike was the first one to call me when my late wife passed away 3 years ago to offer his condolences and I'll never forget our conversation... The world lost a truely great gentleman. I lost a good friend.... It just won't be the same... Lord, I ask that Mike get a special place in heaven. He surely deserves it... Dan Thome (Trap2)
I am real sorry to hear of this gentleman's passing.He was one of the best on this site.
He will truly be missed.Our thoughts are with his family. Rest in Peace Mike. Yellowjet
The deep pain that is felt at the death of every friendly soul arises from the feeling that there is in every individual something which is inexpressible, peculiar to him alone, and is, therefore, absolutely and irretrievably lost. ~Arthur Schopenhauer
We feel the loss and are saddened. His family and close friends are truly in pain.
Rest in Peace my friend. You fought the good fight. I will remember him always especially when I shoot my Cole #105 bought from him. My condolences to His family, relatives, and countless friends. Jim Mendoza
