Status: offline 		I'm very sad to hear the news of Mike's passing. My condolences to his family and friends. I loved to read his responses to posts on RCU. Always helpful and interesting. I never read bad advice from him, in fact, he was always right on. His advice and humor will be sorely missed. I bought a set of mechanical retracts he designed and licensed to a supplier that work flawlessly. He really nailed it with the retracts, never a problem and they ALWAYS worked properly.

I'll bet he's flying an Ultra Sport right now...

Peace be with you Mike a good man lost BT

Status: offline 		Very sad news indeed. I had some questions regarding a kit a while back which Mike had reviewed and he replied straight away with some awesome advice. His one line will always stay with me, which he ended the mail with:: 'ya gotta just put your big boy pants on and fly it! :-) Good luck!' Doesnt get better than that.

RIP Mike and my condolances from South Africa and London to the Buzzeo family. You will be sadly missed.

I couldn't wait to meet him, and he was everything I thought he would be, extremely nice and took the time to talk to me and my Son like he had known us forever. He will be sorely missed. Prayers to his family. RIP, clear skys and favorable winds. You will be missed.....

Mike's humor and wit is one of the things that kept me here at
RCU for so long. I remember one time he told me that "summer
in Minnesota was two weeks of bad snowmobile weather."

He cracked me up. I will never forget him. He was a blessing.

Flyboy Dave.

My prayers are with his wife and family at this difficult and heartbreaking time.

Godspeed Mike and fly with the angels..... (this PINK's for you)

He was very talented. His advice and skills were a big help to many of us RCU fans.

He was only 2 years older than me. I also spent time in the Navy until a medical retirement. I can't say any better words about a fellow sailor' passing than donhef above.
Salute...

Status: offline 		I was just browsing through the Gas forums and I saw Mike's name and then it said passing away. I could not believe in my eyes. Mike has been a helping hand to me ever since I joined rcuniverse. When I was back in Pakistan, He helped me out, when I came to USA, he helped me out. I've exchanged emails with him. His sudden demise is gonna leave a huge gap here and in the R/C community. He was kind, gentle and a great help with devotion and honesty.

MAY GOD REST HIS SOUL IN PEACE. MAY GOD RENDER HIS WIFE PATIENCE AND STRENGTH TO COPE WITH SUCH A BIG SHOCK TO HER LIFE BY LOSING A GREAT LIFE COMPANION. MIKE YOU WILL BE MISSED. AMEN/AMEEN

He represented the best of what RC Universe and the group of R/C enthusiasts is in general.  Helpful and of good humor. 

Smooth landings, Mike.

He even flew/crashed two of my planes. (I'm sure Mike is laughing at that.)

I truly believe that to Mike, a stranger was a friend he hadn't met yet.

What made Mike a good guy.. He greeted me with a friendly hand-shake and hello. He didn't have to, but he did.
