Comments: Coach, I am going to miss you so much. Your attitude, determination and your great sense of humor will never be forgotten. I'm so proud of the work you've done on this site during your illness. I know you're in a better place but it still hurts like hell to lose you. I'll treasure the nickname you gave me.
Love,
the Link Queen

Comments: I have just checked my email and found out the bad news regarding the Coach. I can not say that I knew him well, but from the comments of those on the HD list that knew him better my life is the poorer for it.

Goodbye Coach.

Comments: It is with great sorrow that I heard about Mike's passing, he was a chearished member of our Hodgkins Support newsgroup, and he will be greatly missed. He was always upbeat about everything, and I felt a bond with him when he said they found tumors near his brain, My own mother had a brain tumor and as it turns out she expired the monday before Michael did. I am sure the two of them are in heaven, perhaps he can teach my mother about computers, and I am sure she has many recipes to share with him. He will be missed forever.

Comments: It is with much sadness that I read about the passing of "Coach." Many of us knew Mike from the hd mail list and have been desperately trying to reach him. We have lost a great friend.
