Quoted from sc93cobra:

I shared in the service yesterday that family and loved ones (family already had been) to come here and see this thread and the things people were sharing. It was a great service and I really do feel that the family has been helped through this to learn more about Mike and all the people that cared for him. We had a time in the service for people to share stories and memories. It was awesome how many people shared about Mike and his impact on their life.
On another note, I am hoping to begin working through the orders outstanding this week, it's really at his family's description when they are up to beginning this, but I think later this week we will be able to. I will post when we begin fulfilling orders and and be emailing those specific with anything else needed to help fill them. There's a bunch of them .
We will also be talking about if they would like to keep this aspect of his plating business going. As I have shared with many others, we are prepared to help them do this if they wish to do so and it still benefit the family monetarily, which I think Mike would have loved. This would be using Mike's guys and contacts and so forth. I will not recommend to them that we do unless it's known for sure that we can do it with the same integrity and quality that Mike did it. I have a fair amount of knowledge of the biz from being around Mike and his willingness to share so much of it with me over the last couple of years, and from being a gearhead and having many things plated over the years for hot rods. If we can do it as he did it, and they would like that to happen, then it's game on. If not, then I know there are others waiting in the wings as there always is when money is involved.
I want to thank everyone again for their patience with all of this. Yesterday was a tough day, but also an encouraging one. Grateful for the outpouring of love and care from our fellow pinheads. Hold your loved ones tight and spend time with those you care for. You never know what tomorrow brings.
