I've always said that FIRST should drop their programming firms, and just hire Mike... his programming of the field is ALWAYS mosre stable, easier to use, and just down right better quality then the "official field software."

Wow. I feel like a complete idiot.

I've been in Iraq for a while, and I was unaware that he had passed.
I'm heartbroken right now. He was a great friend, and wonderful company. I will miss the after competition dinners, and I never was able to have that first drink with him we'd joked about.

I'll miss you Mike. The FIRST community has lost a wonderful person.

Actually, Matthew, I thought your posts were very much a tribute.

I could picture Mike with his big rig in the sky!

Just wait till the next time you see the NASA Trailer at an event. The memories it brings and the lump that forms in your throat...

Matthew, Welcome home and I was happy to see that photo of Mike again. He looks so proud.

There are a lot of people working hard to make sure that Mike's legacy continues. We can all honor him by remembering just like you are doing.
