Please pass on our condolences to Mike from us down here,Dave..I know what you mean about the shock of someone so young passing before time..Last year,one of our NSRA friends had a brain malfunction,of sorts,and die at a similar age,,another friend,and NSRA member,went just days before his 59th birthday,of a massive heart attack,and six days later,I went to another friends funeral,who had a stroke,at the age of 47,,then barely two weeks later,another rodder we knew,succumbed to a kidney failure,,,after spending a chunk of his life on dialysis machine,and two transplants..(49 years old)..You start feeling a bit vulnerable after all of this..Nothing we can do,but keep in contact with our family and friends,regularly..Its hard to understand,Dave,,we all feel for those around us when it happens..Cant do much else,apart from hoping that they go without pain..
