I hope you find peace on the other side, because you were a good soul.

***** UPDATED******

Mike was living in Denver, Colorado when he passed, and Boulder before that.
He spent most of his life in SoCal, and bounced around Georgia a bit.

A lot of people have different memories of him. I only have good ones.

His passing was sudden to everyone, except maybe Mike. We spoke weekly. He died of natural causes.

His family is coming to town on Thursday 8.8 (I will ask them about services, but I know cremation is likely.)

I met Mike only once when I was 19. 25 years ago on the day I bought my first 914, making him one of the first 914 people I ever met.

Bought the car from a friend of his in Santa Barbra but Mikes name was still on the title.

The car was a complete mess but I was 19 so I bought it anyways. The "linkage adjustment" issue preventing the car from engaging 3rd turned out to be a bad trans and the "freshly rebuilt 2.0" wound up dropping a valve seat on the drive from Santa Barbra back to Orange County, yet still I remember it as one of the happiest days of my life and the whole situation set me on the path to obsessively learn all things 914. So in a way this man I only met once played a large part in the direction of my life.

I still have the car today, just finished a full bare metal resto on it, and plan on never selling it.

Godspeed Mike Z. Thanks for sharing the love of these cars and being a part of my journey.
