Mike died suddenly last night while visiting his family in Pennsylvania.  A
Civil War buff, he was participating in a re-enactment.  Late last night he
felt ill and died of a massive heart attack.  Only a few months ago, his
younger brother also died of a heart attack.
Mike was my co-worker for the past four years.  He was a good friend, a warm
and friendly man.  We at the Portland Radio Group have lost a great
individual...and we are the poorer for it.
Mike leaves a wife and two daughters.
Our thoughts are with them.
