    Very, very sad news. Such a shame when such a great man passes.

    And, as a very close friend to you, Jim, I feel for you.

    As per many sentiments above, will miss his technical contribution to the sport.

    Condolences to all involved.

    A very sad time.

    I'm really sorry to hear this Jim.

    Mike clearly had an intellect and understanding rarely seen in our sport - his death is a sad loss to the world of airguns; especially to those of us who crave knowledge of every intricate part of their function.

    My thoughts are with you Jim, as well as his other friends and family.

    A very sad loss indeed and may I add my condolences to all his family and many friends.

    Although I never had the chance to meet Mike in person, our spasmodic communications were a great source of inspiration and pleasure and my saddest note is not having had the chance to share a meal, a jar and good old boinger chin-wag!

    RIP

    Condolences Jim.

    From what little you told me about that project you guys were working on a year or so ago he was one smart cookie.

    Best,

    Really sorry to hear of this very sad news.

    It was only last night I was reading Mike's latest article about transfer ports, in AGW.

    The technical articles by both Jim and Mike are my first 'port of call' when the latest AGW lands on my doormat, so to know that Mike's expertise is now lost to us, is a huge blow.


    My sincere condolences to all that new him, and all that will undoubtedly miss him.
