Wow... this is really tragic... just from the human side of things. I don't personally know Mike, but he was a helluva individual and a really intelligent, well spoken guy. I have his HDR book (good read) and participated in some discussion threads that included him, and I always appreciated his no-nonsense approach to things... my heart goes out to the guys family n friends, it's a sad day for all of us here, too... his presence will be missed...
Namaste

Although I did not know him, gotta respect anyone connected the d8b.
RIP Mike
