Title: Michael Knight (mwk) Memorial Flight
Post by: MrGeezer on May 07, 2022, 11:11:37 PM
Mike, mwk of the Sic Puppies (our leader and squad pastor) has passed away.

There needs to be a HTC memorial flight.

Please use this thread to coordinate such a memorial flight.

Our loss is huge.  What a mentor and what an excellent human being.

God be with his family.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Mike.  I have known him online for over 15 years.  He had a kind and caring soul even at one time reaching out to me a few years ago to see if I was doing ok after taking a hiatus from the game.  He was a Godly man and is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior.  You will be dearly missed for now but we will meet again in the afterlife and rehash the old times.

 :salute He will be missed. Enjoyed flying with him from time to time whenever I would be on, and he would knock towns down with his B-24s. I think we should do something similar to what the Dickweeds did for Vega who passed away, just food for thought.

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

What was going on in SEA?

Both appeared to be set up for some event, SEA1 we couldn't access any bombers anyway, and SEA2 was setup for another event. Now that being said, there was no one in either arena, but we decided the easiest thing to do was go the the Training Arena. It worked out fine. :salute
