Sad to hear.

I had lost touch with him over time.

Along with Jack - he used to lose the odd sporting bet with CMule.

Mike joined some of my buddy's Box Pools too.

Nice guy and had no idea that he was ill.

Oh no - Mike was fun for sure, wish I would've met him.  Loved to mix it up with him in the sports threads and occasional US vs Canada topic.

I don't think he was very old was he?

I don't believe that I ever met him, but I offer my condolences.  He was famABBly, so I pay my respects.

Wow, so sorry to hear this.  Mike and I would banter about silly things although I never met him.

I did meet Jack a few times. I think he had some connection to Michigan but I could be wrong. Actually the first time I met him was outside of Detroit. 

Damn.

@canadianmule More than once I had to change my profile pic to a Canadian flag after losing a hockey bet with him.

@photoron286 I never lost to him. Our first few on here were head bashing hockey debates. Back in the Damn I will mail you a cheque days. LOL - Drove him crazy at first but i think he came to just accept it. Jack was the same. Even when the Red Wings were winning Cups - we would bet on games and the Red Wings would lose for the first time in a month. Jack would say - Forget The Bet - I will just send a cheque. To which I would reply - just send a blank one so I can fill it in at the end of the season. 🤣 

Lots of respect and sad for the family.

The Leafs Still Do Suck Though - Who Knows? Maybe the Leafs Heaven Team Wins Cups. Not a chance!

He would be disappointed if I said anything else and eased up on him.

What awful news , my wife and I were on the same flight to New York as Mike and his buddy , we shared a cab from the airport to Manhattan , we stayed in contact through private messaging on this site but not for several years , he was a fellow Seahawks fan .

Rest In Peace my Friend
