hello mike,
first of all I want to give my condulonces on this tragic news about

time I saw him was in 2007 in Atlanta at convention. and, of course I
didn't go to convention this year! I'm sorry for this news and, of
course I will keep his famility in my thoughts and prayers! thanks
again for sharing this and, I will talk to you soon!
