Sad news.
I didn't know Mike, but from what I have seen from him on this forum, he will be sorely missed.
My condolences to his family.

i think a 5-10 donation from everyone would add up quickly into something nice to be delivered there.
~ i am without a doubt in ... if someone would like to set up a paypal acct, collection, etc... please let me know where i can send a donation to.

it would be nice to have a floral arrangement from the crossfire forum & friends.

Talking Re: Rest In Peace MikeR

I met mike thru the forum when he assisted me in making up some metal parts for my pulley saver design. He fashioned them from old gun barrels and contributed greatly to that project.

He will be missed by all of us for many reasons. At least I can take him out once and a while as I drive the crossfire with his camber bars he provided me. Thanks for all, Mike.

My prayers go out to the family. I only communicated with him through PM's but he seemed like an awesome person... RIP, with all you did for us as a whole, you will not be forgotten.

Would one of the members that makes the decals or maybe even your place Rob, be willing to make a coupe logo with a memorial date and Mike's SN on it? Maybe charge a little extra and send the proceeds to Mike's family?

I have already sent flowers to the family on behalf of everyone on the forum but I'm sure whatever anyone else would like to send would be greatly appreciated.

I've been communicating by email with Mike concerning the SRT6 VIN# listing (sticky) for the past few years every ten days or so.
The last update was posted by Mike on September 5th. I sent Mike an update last week and was surprised that it was not posted, so I sent a PM.
Tiffany responded to the PM today and I saw it while I was at a three day business meeting. I could not believe the email, what a shock, it was beyond belief, I was stunned by the news.
This is a very difficult time, for the family, since it was so sudden. My prayers are with Tiffany and the family.

With enough of us on board here.. Would an engraved plaque from "us" to his daughter be appropriate? Something she could hang on to for memories of him..his crossfire..and his friends from all over..?
Just a thought..

Exclamation Re: Rest In Peace MikeR

If we want to really make a difference, maybe someone associated with the family could be our interface and have his car be auctioned; to the members of the forum, sending his family a really serious donation. Reserve needs to be posted.

THis is just a thought that crossed my mind, it would keep his car in the club, and benefit the family in a significant way. I remember that he had just gotten back to work in the near past.

Or something, just wanted to offer some out of the box thinking - ideas.

Respectfully Woody

I googled his name. Very tragic. I dont understand it, but I wasnt there... I wont say any more.

I too would love to donate for something for his family.

CICCI will be making a Donation to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
I spoke with Mikes daughter on the phone this evening and she said this would have been Mike's wishes.
The donation is being made in memory of Mike and Sheryl R.

I was thinking we could have a few words said in his honor and memory at the meeting Friday night... and I'm sure that will happen.

Thanks for being a class act, Rudy. I've talked to him on here a bit, but don't know his name or family or anything...
