Anthony, thank you for taking this hard role to forward the sad news.
I would have liked to hear Mike directly complaining the color of my images looking too dull. Maybe in the next life...

I am very sad to read this and expressing my condolences. Mike G was the first contact i came into longer discussion with on the old Nikongear site. Good that he had at least some time to enjoy his new Nikon Z lineup.
Hard to find words when life turns and ends this way.

I sent a copy of your tributes to Mike's daughter Rachel.
This is her response.
Hi Anthony,
Thank you, they are lovely comments, I will share them with my family.
Please pass on my thanks to everyone who sent condolences, reading them I could imagine my dad and picture him.
I have seen Dave, the cat a few times on my visits to the house while we are sorting things out, I can only think he’s wondering where the guy that used to feed him is, we have still been putting food out for him.
I don’t know what Dad’s fascination with the mini was but going through his computer there are a great many pictures of them, we were wondering why, now I know he liked to share them on the forums, I know one of his favourite films was The Italian Job.
Kind regards
Rachel

Thank you for sharing this very sad news. It puts everything that happens today into perspective.
In a way, it is good to know that Mike will remain among us via his posts. I did not know him but from from his posts I learned that he must have been a really nice guy and contributor.
The last half year must have been a very difficult period for him, his family and friends. Despite the darkness, I do hope they were able to enjoy what matters most. I am sure his faith helped him.
May he be remembered for who he was and rest in peace.
