I read this over at the Thorpaircommand site, where his props were considered the best.
Sad.
Just goes to show us, if you want to meet all the legends of aviation, you better start right away and keep at it.
That said, it's just amazing who you meet at airports if you just talk to people.

Thanks for posting this in a new thread Bob. Learned of his passing in another thread. I liked his props & enjoyed dealing with him very much. He was very nice to me over the years & was always happy to share info. I'm very saddened by his passing. Can no longer phone him up for a prop chat. That pleasure is gone forever. Very sad. I liked the man.

Mike was always enthusiastic about his props and our airplanes. A very nice guy to deal with. It is surprising and sad that he has passed.
