Default Where is Minnflyer?

Has anyone seen or heard from Minnflyer recently? Last time I saw a post, or seen him on-line was a few days ago, and he is usually on here several times a day.

CGr.

Gee I thought I had seem him yesterday. He and Ken on a post had something to do with covering I believe. But when you get older the time gets away from you. But, I do think it was yesterday.

He's only made one post in the last week. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=8534579 and hasn't logged on today. Probably busy making a living or on vacation.

Actually, I've been talking to Mike and he wishes he was on vacation. He is in Florida, but for a lot less than good things. He brother passed away last wednesday. His brother had problems with his liver, although I don't know many details about. They had thought it was getting better then out of the blue last wednesday Mike got a call that he was gone. I know he's logged on here a few times, but he has very limited computer access down there.

Wow, thanks everyone.

My brother Pat was one heluva guy. And I'm not just saying that because he was my brother. I only wish that I could be half as dedicated and determined as he was.

In 1973 he had open-heart surgery. During the operation, he was given several transfusions through which, he contacted Hep C.

13 years ago, the Hep C had destroyed his liver to the point where he had to undergo a liver transplant. His life was never the same. Anti-rejection drugs 3 or 4 times a day, never being able to eat the foods he enjoyed, enduring one complication after another, and throughout it all, he always kept the most incredible sense of humor you could imagine.

He was and always will be my big brother and my hero.

I never met Pat. But if he's anything like the rest of the Buzzeo siblings he had to have been a great guy. And before anybody asks, I don't know how many Buzzeo kids there are. They are a good Italian family, meaning they got kids everywhere!!!!!!

Mike, you have my deepest sympathies over your loss. I'm gonna miss your help at Florida Jets, but I do understand you got a lot of other things going on that are a little more important. How are your parents holding up???

Just make sure you get everything ready for Toledo!!!!!

And I'd be willing to bet he never once said "feel sorry for me.." The best ones never do....


I too would like to express my condolensces..

May he rest well...

From what I see from you in here and your personality in your vids Mike, if I can call you that, I figured he had to have been a heck of a guy too. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'm new here, but I know loosing a loved one never is easy...

My prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time. Your brother seemed too have been a man among men and I'm sure your brother looked up too you just as you do too him. May he rest in peace and his soul find happinest and joy where he is going.
