Many of you know Topgun by his handle on this website. Those of us who are close to him, well we call him Mike. Sometimes we call him other words not suitable for a family forum!
I met Mike many years ago through this very website. He shared his experience in reloading with me and that grew into what I presumed would be a life long friendship. I just didnt know how long, or short, that would be.
Mike wasnt very talkative when it came to his bout with cancer. It was skin cancer, one of the many carcinomas, but what the doctors a couple years ago thought they had eradicated has now remanifested itself and spread through Mike's body.
Mike is comfortable in the same hospice home where his beautiful wife passed away. There will be no treatment moving forward. He is away from his computer, which is the only reason I am posting this. If he knew I was doing this he wouldn't be too happy and would want others carrying on and worrying about him.
Mike touched many hearts of those around him and many more nerves! More than once I had to step in and break up potential fist fights with local ranchers and hunters! It was always an adventure, to say the least!
If any of you want any words of love, kindness or even a little razzing sent his way you can post it here or send me a PM and we can get it to him.
My crusty heart is broken and hunting Wyoming will never be the same without Mike. Normally I'd be praying for a speedy recovery, but in this case I'm praying for comfort and clarity as Mike transitions.
