That's very sad.
I think everybody liked him being here and he has been missed already.

Few years back;
I rented a pickup and drove to his house to buy truck seats from him. Met his wife and tried to dry my hands on every towel they had hanging in their bathroom. It was fun-that's no small task!

We didn't share a smoke and I didn't ride in his truck. He asked and I declined
Hell I thought that was fun too....He prolly didnt and i'm still okay with that - it was even weird to me at the time. Our visit was kind of short..
I see now that if I would have done those things I wouldn't have learned.

Guess that's lucky huh?
I was thinking about him the other day and now I know why.
He was a cool dude.
I'm going to let Mike teach me something from beyond the grave. I'm certain he knows, I really hope he does.

Thank you for posting, VBB. Please forward my condolences.

Rest in Peace Mike, I consider you my friend. Thank you for the lesson you teach me, it is not in vain.
Thank you for the part you played in my life Mike - you wore that role really great and have certainly left your mark - not only in my heart but also in this message board and across the globe, that's not easy either.

We'll always remember you and in this place your memory lives.

He's lucky he got free.
We're all still stuck here.
Don't be sad, be happy for him.

Bless you Vince for keeping up with him and letting us know. I've been thinking about him of late and thought his health was keeping him from this forum of friends. Godspeed Paladin.

Yes, sad news. He was always an involved contributor to the forum, I’ll miss his light hearted posts and sense of humor. I’ll hoist a cold one in his honor. God Speed Mike.. we’ll take it from here

The news of his passing really bummed me out as the day went on. I found this photo and it's how I'll remember him.

I didn’t have any interactions with him, but always sad to hear that one of our members and someone who served in the armed forces has passed away. Rest in peace, Paladin.

Well, I am sorry to hear of his passing. The Bible says Eye have not seen nor ear heard the things that God has prepared for those who love him. Our relationship with Christ is most important,
