If you guys would like, you can send any donation to my paypal and i will make sure his wife receives it. I was already planning on seeing if she needed help with his truck and knowing what he had done to it. his house is literally right next door to where i work.
I hate "go fund me's", they take a decent chunk out of what is raised and we dont really need one
send as "friends/family" so paypal doesnt take some of your donation. I will keep track and post up in a new thread how much was/is being raised and what she says. Please put your name (if you want to) and screen name in the donation so i can reply back in the thread and make sure it was received from you.
i think this would be a great idea for her.

I posted this info and the donations page over on duramaxforum as well.
I also informed his wife of the condolences threads/pages and she wants to see them so I told her the sites it was one.

I meant to also mention that I really feel badly for his wife. She is a fellow Enrolled Agent (Tax Accountant) and needs to stay on her A game this time of year to survive tax season and make all of her money for the year
Hi, this is Kathy, Mike's wife. The person you referred to above was his first wife! I am a legal secretary...No worries, just wanted to make sure you had the correct info!
No worries! I am Mike's wife Kathy and I just wanted to say thank you for all of the kind messages. Mike really loved you guys (even the ones who said they didn't get along with him-I often butted heads with him as well:happy2 but he really was a wonderful man and I will miss him very much. We found each other quite later in life and it was a blessing. I am very close with his family so take great comfort in their presence. I'm hoping to sell his truck to my brother in law who will nurture it as much as Mike did. I would love to keep the truck as I like driving it and it is all around great but it's not practical for me. I will stay in touch. Thank you, Kathy (the second wife:thumb

Welcome kathy! and that the same time, i am truely sorry for your loss... im am glad to see the truck can be used by family if that is the case. please let them know to hop on here if he has any questions on it. Mike left alot of info about the truck scattered about here and we can pick it out pretty easily.
Welcome Kathy and I'm so sorry its this circumstance that we "meet". My prayers are with you all.
Mike had a unique way of posting on this forum. I couldn't say exactly what made it unique, but you could tell his posts in a thread.
RIP, Mike. My condolences to his family.

I still get caught off guard everytime I open my inbox as I was just emailing him the 1st of the month, and have an email from him that's on my 1st page.
And I'm the one who got him his certification of speed award as I believe he called it. He said he got a speeding ticket just a few days after I sent him tunes for his truck playing like one of the high school kids. All I can say is sorry for your loss. I'm not good at relaying emotion, but I also posted this at TTS as he came over there every few weeks as well.
