Mike passed away Saturday April 4th, shortly after his 65th birthday of congestive heart failure (not COVID 19 related) His wife Judy has asked that in lieu of flowers and gifts that you please donate to your favorite charity at this time. We are unable to have a service due to the current state lockdown but a memorial will be planned later on after the pandemic subsides. I am still looking for pictures of Mike to post (and Judy has promised some as well) but I thought it would be nice to open this post up as a memorial for your comments, stories and pictures. Mike was loved by everybody and he will be sorely missed. Thanks for reading! Greg Purcell

Mike and his wife Judy, just the absolute best. I was introduced to Mike when I was 18, that year he did all of the machine work on my first small block build. He was incredibly knowledgeable and knew what worked and kept me from buying all the newest shiny gimmicks out at the time as well. Really fun to watch him wheel his dart down the track. Rest in peace Mike, you will be greatly missed.

It’s still in the car and going strong. My good friend Doc webby introduced me to mike. To Anyone that knows doc he’s still around but lost most of his vision, I’ve been helping him put his valiant together. RIP Mike
