Condolences from the BoPs.  He was a good guy.  I talked to him in-game semi-regularly.  This is really a surprise to read. :(

I've been playing this game since tour 87 which still makes me a noob by standards here and have been with the Dragons most of that time. Like all the Swampys, Mike would drop everything he was doing in game to come to your aid.  Be it supplies, clearing your six or just flying around and talking to you.  I'll miss him alot. 

He had a distinctive accent and I never mistook his voice for anyone else in the crowd.  I know he was from Texas, a really nice guy and loved this game and his squad.  He abhorred channel 200 and always thought it was destructive to the game vs. helping.  He believed if you really wanted to say something to someone, you should just PM them.


We'll miss ya Mike.  Clear skies and good tailwinds.

Doc and HighGTrn said it better than I ever could, Mike was a great guy and I always enjoyed working with him. He was always there when you needed something.  My prayers go out to his family. He will be missed. I didn't realize his influence was that far reaching. WOW. You are all gentlemen.

Mike- :salute

Will see you on the other side.
