I remember Mike giving out his phone number to Pinsiders which I thought was really cool to contact him at TPF if they had any work they wanted him to do some plating and drop it off there at the show for him. Unfortunately I never met him then or ever as I did not have any plating or anything else that had to be done at the time so to hear this news now is weird and surreal as the show was just a month and a half ago.

The name Mike Chestnut to me was always synonymous with quality chrome or other plating through word of month which is huge, so definitely a loss for the pinball community. My heart goes out to the family as I know first hand what it is like to lose loved ones in a sudden tragedy, including a motorcycle accident.

R.I.P.
