Lost a really good friend and radio operator 2 weeks ago on Sunday evening , Mike D. out of Anaheim , Orange County Ca. . Mike was a moderator for the World Radio and Needle Bender groups for many years . A good man and very dedicated to his causes . I talked to Mike for getting on 20 years on and off the radio , I just didn't believe it when I heard it ! I text him and his wife text me back , I guess him and his family had went to the Pechanga Resort and Casino for a weekend getaway , Sunday evening he had said he wasn't feeling well and was going to go to the room to lay down for a while , unfortunately that was for the last time. Massive Heart attack . From talking to Mike he didn't have any problems that I knew of and just a shock to everyone. I had just talked to Mike in text the day before about a DSP speaker he had recommended to me that I had just gotten and was very pleased with it . Always and forever a gentleman on his radios and loved DX'ing maybe more then anyone I have ever met. I miss Mike and I'm sure a lot of others will all over the world . Rest in Peace my friend , Mike was 59 years old.

Sorry for his passing. It is hard when a good friend leaves this earth. It took me awhile to get back on the radio when my Elmer passed in 2022. I knew if I stopped talking on the radio he would probably come back to haunt me in my dreams to get back on the radio. As long as we remember then they are still in a way with us.
 
Sorry for your loss. I lost a friend last summer the same way. Wasn't feeling well, went to lie down and never got up. It happens so quick. It's important to know the warning signs.
