very sad to hear about Mike.  Had some good one-on-one talks while GV'ing with him.  Always a salute and a hi to everyone. 

 :salute and peace to you and your family.

We have lost a very dear and loving friend, a man faithful to his God, a faithful husband and father. He always had time to talk about his Savior, and share the message of salvation to those in need. Even in those rare times he was angry about something, he still had that soft understanding voice to calm the turmoil. Upon logging into the game each day, I would always ask him how he was doing. I always got the same reply, "just waiting on the Rapture". I know or Savior greeted him with the words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

I have had the honor of making many dear friends in my time in this game of which Mike was one of the dearest. I pray that his family may be comforted in knowing where is now, and knowing he is at last beyond this vile of sorrow, at home with the Master.

A short Goodbye my friend till we meet again on that far shore, on the banks of the River of Life that flows by the Throne of God.  :salute

Put the ONION DOWN!     "Mistah PA!!!!"...  "Howdy Sir Mike"... "how are ya doing, Par?"...."I am well Sir!"...  EVERY EVENING   This man, rode my back..ever since I lost my Niece! Constantly gauging my Emotional Situation!  Even after losing His Grandson in a BS, Co-worker ordeal, in Fla.  "I am fine Sir! How are you doing?" ""PAR!!!! I AM WELL! It sucks..YES. Read this article..."    I was under the impression, he wasnt that close with THAT Grandchild? Article he directed me to...."Grand Son was giving his all to help guy out, Political differences reared its ugly head?"   Helping Guys out?  The Genes were STRONG with THIS ONE!!!  This one HURTS!!!!!  "just waiting on the Rapture". I know or Savior greeted him with the words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." YUP!!! SAME reaction/memory!  "Pahr! Your Niece lucked out! Yes it hurts...but from how you explain her...she beat us HOME? lol  If I get there before you do...PROMISE..."Don't let her give all the Fish Sore Mouths, and save some Ground Hogs for you! Not sure you would be able to hurt/hunt Groundhogs, as you and Grand Father did?  Be prepared to see "Mom's Dad" cuddled up to them! However I will spread the word!"   :rofl  This was supposed to be Funny/Tongue in Cheek not REALITY!!! :bhead    :airplane:

A pillar of this game. Grateful for my time with the sic puppies last year and my time with Mike. His spirit was one of peace and love manifested by his love for Christ and the people God had put in his life. Will miss seeing... Or the lack there of due to his patience and skill, his M4 rocket tank at towns or his B24's at 10k white flagging. Very sad loss but as with so many before him will not be forgotten.  :salute

See you again on the otherside sir

Preached at you too?  After PNG(dont know if that was THE reason)/Your absence for a bit?  Mike was flying a Spit16...FINETIME was Green(Bish)...MIKEEEE, That is NOT a B-24?!!!"             

  I know BW! You make this Spit stuff seem easy! Had to try it!", lol  A REAPER Mission-Bring your Fav....? Didnt go B-24?  Like 45 minutes later(after Finetime=green).....YOU Changed sides.   MIKE! Those B-17s are FineTime!!!! "I KNOW, PAR!  He is actually trying to 'Dog Fight' me. "Spit16 is TRASH! You made this seem easy!"    MIKEEEE...most of my kills are from Bombs! NOT ON Bombers!   "Ah another 'Triple 9'? I should a known, since you broke off? "   MIKEEEEE! I told ya it was a TRAP!!   "Yes, you sure did Mr. Par!  I was in your ride....surely I got this? You make it look easy!!!!!"   Did he never catch my, "This is 999/Finetime or metatron"? I swoop in, get a kill, see 'BW1stpar shot down Finetime,or 999,he  has similar reaction if I read it was him, like with you..."F THIS STUFF I'm Out"?   Happened LITERALLY last time Mike was on! He got a Ditch...kill DENIED...ENGINE/Fuel/ Right Gear/Pilot wounded  WAS HILLARIOUS!  EVERY PERSON, in that Reaper Mission....laughed so hard! Mike wasnt the the only one, to ignore my warning!!!  Think you got 8 of us?    GD, this hurts!   A TOOTH?  WTF? Be aware....That I love you fellers BIG TIME! I spend more time with 'THIS ACESHIGH' family, than I do Blood Kin and I love each and every one of you fellers! :salute
