I will miss Mike. He and I spoke by phone a few years ago. He called me and wanted to talk about shooting doves. He expressed an interest in coming to GA to shoot with me but, it never happened.
Mike was a genuinely good hearted man. As I recall he was, at the time we talked, serving as a chaplain in one of the branches of military service, in the reserves I believe.
I do not recall ever knowing of Mike to say a derogatory word about anyone. That's a really good thing to have said about you.
Rest easy, Mike.
If anyone has the opportunity to post a link to his obituary I would really appreciate it.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

He and I had several phone conversations. A really helpful gentleman.
RIP, Mike

I'm shocked to hear this! I wasn't aware that he was ill. He was a wonderful fellow. Always will to help, lots of great info and very knowledgeable.
Our prayers go out to his family and I know that he is in God's loving arms and in a much better place.
Rest in Peace Mike, you'll be missed greatly

Last month I saw on the 16 ga. forum where he had just gotten out of the hospital. I commented that I missed his dove report where he hunted almost daily shooting different guns. He replied that he hoped to rectify that soon. Never a cross or contentious post from him. He is missed. Gil

Headed back out for a deer hunt today. In the quiet moments that will surely follow I'll be thinking of Mike.
It's been a tough year for me in this department (all part of the aging game I'm afraid).
Get on with living or get on with dying, right?

Good luck on your hunt, filling a tag, and, your larder, will help you with the struggle that is the cycle of life.
Best,
Ted
