Tom,

I was just about to post on the original thread and saw this. I couldn't agree more - this community is showing its true colors - a great group of people.

But there is good reason - Mike deserved it. We go way back on this site - probably a good 13 years or so. And although I only fished with him a few times and bumped into him in the Bay Head surf near his home once in a while - he as ALWAYS a stand up guy. It's no wonder why your post elicited such a tremendous response.

I know you two were tight - so my condolences to you, Di and the kids. This community, including you, rallied for me when I needed it 11 years ago. Lean on us if you need to. Tough couple of weeks coming up for sure....but there will be better days ahead. Hang in there.
