Sad news from Michigan...

[Firefly]

Update....

I spoke with Some Girl (Carroll) again today and they will not be having a service right now for Mike.
He's being cremated and she will be having a memorial party for him this summer that everyone will be invited to.
I'll keep you posted, but it probably won't be planned for a few months.
Oh.. BTW.... Mike and Carroll were not married... but they'd been dating for 20 years.

Here is Carroll's address:

Carroll Hileman
1950 Phillips Avenue
Holt, MI 48842

mike is and will be missed, he got along with about everyone, loved to ride and was quick with a joke.

A real loss to the spyder community.

Some Guy , will miss you my man. Great sense of

humor as evidenced in this thread he created. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?54380-Naming-our-Spyders

He had over 1600 replys on threads here, and

thats how I knew who he was, when I met him

at Spyderfest, got to tell him how original his

name here was, didn't want to learn his or Fireflys

real names as it would be too confusing to remember

that this Mike said this and not the other 3 Mikes I

know, So really liked the use of handles here. I mean

how many Fireflys, NancysToys, G-Man or Bumble Bee's

do you know?!

Now do understand that if I'm gonna loan you money,

I want your Birth name, a blood sample and for you to

wear a leg bracelet! Just so I know your not in Vegas spending the money I lent you.

But for talking Spyders the handles suit me fine. ( My brain is already at capacity )

I remember we had a choice of rides to go on at the first Spyderfest I attended in Cuba in 2011

Picked a ride to the Meramec Caverns caves, and if you have never been let me tell ya, am so glad I did.

Here is Some Guy in his tie dyed purple shirt

and here is the whole group that attended the caves or Zip Lines,

All of us going the three's sign, or 2 if you were on a two wheeler.

looks like Some Guy did the Zip Line :dontknow:

For me, the last time I saw Some Guy was at Spyderfest 2013 and at the drag races and we walked around with Firefly and checked out all the cool accessories

on the wide variety of RTs parked in the lot, saying what we liked on this one or that. Fun times.

Going to really miss you Mike. will be getting one of these decals and placing it on my Spyder in your honor this year at Spyderfest.

Very well written TicketBait :firstplace:

Thanks for the memories, especially at the Meramac caverns

 

[G-Man]

That was a great day, riding and enjoying the caverns and zip-line with good friends. By the way, thanks for not taking a picture of my bike laying on it's side. That day began my first SpyderFest tradition. For some reason, SpyderFest is the only time I ever drop my bike. :doorag:
