I am so very sorry for your loss and very sad. He was one of the most helpful and kind posters and his blue moose always made me smile. Prayers and sympathy to you and your family.

Deepest sympathies to your family in this time of grief. Glad to hear he had so much love surrounding him at the end. I will miss his wisdom and kindness.

I remember when Mike was new here, this was his avatar: He was acutely aware of how that image reflected the way his life felt for a while.

Later, as his recovery took wings, he changed to the current image of the Moose Victorious. His avatars never failed to make me smile.

I remember relating very well to Mike's moose tongue in the fan blades for a long while. His postings helped me to see a different side of my reactions and anger at the X-Mr. Fandy.

I am glad that Mike was with family in his final months. He spoke of how much he enjoyed being with the grandkids. (you can read his postings for yourself).

I am so very sorry for your loss, your father helped many people here. he will be missed.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I know at times they say when you go into the rooms to find the person that has what you need. Mike was that person for me. He had that peace, calmness and serenity.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I will light a candle for him today, so that he can see the light that he left in many peoples hearts.
