I had recently emailed mike about chromium some pinball parts for me.I procrastinated, and hadn't yet sent him parts or payment, but through our breif email conversations I could tell he was a great guy. Everyone I spoke to had nothing but wonderful things to say about Mike and I am saddened by the news of his passing. In a world filled with so many untrustworthy people, I could tell that Mike was a great, hardworking guy that was passionate about his work. God Bless Mike and his family, and may they know that so many pinsiders are lucky to have a piece of Mike's work in their homes.
