wow, that's crummy news..........- note to DK - we got a ph call on our DTV system which logs all calls and numbers if they come thru - some don't -
from a "Humfreville Mar" on sunday mid afternoon but weren't home to answer it, and the caller did not leave a message. could it have been Mary
needing something? only met them once at a VB party via DK in oceanside - i was not close to them otherwise and never talked to them on the ph before,
my number is on the website maybe that's how they called.
David K - ????????????any ideas? call me, i am headed to mulege but with a plane load of sams on friday.

I am hoping to hear something good... I don't know anymore than what I posted a while ago.
What I am surprised is that this didn't come out until today (Nov. 6th) if it happened on TUESDAY the 31st, as bad news always travels fast.
The fact that he posted for sure on the 2nd is the only twinkle of hope we have that this isn't true. The Internet (Baja Nomads) are quick to share...
Isn't what Mike posted on the 2nd (if that was his last post here) astounding in nature?

I received email from Mary Ann on Nov. 4th. We are hoping this is all a misunderstanding.

Very very sorry. My bad. The 2nd, not the 3rd.
Now corrected in my earlier post.

Bob H,
There's not much more to tell. Mary Ann sent me a group mailing, something to make us all smile on Nov. 4th. I replied to her, but didn't hear back.
We email back and forth on a weekly basis.
After reading 4baja's post tonight, I phoned the H. stateside house and left a message for Miguelito and Kevin. Like I said, we're hoping this is all
a misunderstanding and that we will see him alive and well in Bahia after the race.
I have a feeling that quite a few of us won't be sleeping well until this is resolved.
P.<,*)))><

So many emotions running through my mind at this point. Wish Mike was on his computer to confirm or deny with me, but he's not. The following is an
excerpt of Beach Bob's email dated Nov 6 @10:52AM reads as follows.
________________________________________________________________
"Mike Humfreville died in San Quintin two nights ago. He had a heart attack."
________________________________________________________________
Mike has always been my friend. We've shared our experiences in life. Cooked dinners for each other. Loaned and borrowed things as needed. He knew my
shortcomings and I his. We chided each other as the opportunities arose. I truly Hope this information is erroneous. Then I can open a "Box of Wine"
and savor the night.
As always,
Steve, Emma and Daisy

Starting to make bad sense;
Mike's last post on Nov. 2
Mary Ann's email on Nov. 4 (Paula; was this in the morning ?)
Mary Ann's call to Capt Mike - maybe looking for transport ?
(Mike; was this in the afternoon ?)
The Nov. 6 email above would have him passing later on the 4th !
Maybe after driving to San Quinton that day ?
Family in San Quinton would explain the lack of phone response in CA.
I'm no detective but this doesn't seem to add up to good news.
But then, someone was logged in on Mike's Nomad account earlier today ??

Sorry
Mike's death has been confirmed and Mary Anne wishes that it be left at that until she can post herself tomorrow. She is with Dave and Juanita at
Cielo Lindo at this time.

Our family is very sorry to hear this being confirmed. Very sad indeed. Mike will be missed, "terribly" says our daughter Cody.
Mary Ann, you and the boys are in our hearts and prayers. If there's anything we can do for you, let us know.

I knew Mike, but a short time.
What struck me each time I talked to him, or read something he wrote was his love of life and love of all people.
God Bless Mike and his family.

Yes, Bruce
I contacted David and Juanita at Cielito Nindo and Dave confirmed it with the message that Mary Ann wanted nothing else said until she could post
tomorrow.
She is in wonderful hands with them.

How is it that I can be so pained by the loss of someone I never met? My deepest condolences to those who have suffered a really devastating loss.

Taken from Cody's blog tonight:
"Mom and I and Dern were sitting by the computer on our baja websites, checking in with our friends. We saw a post that one of our dear baja friends,
Mike Humfreville has died from a heart attack. It's really sad news cause Mike had a really nice wife and a really nice family. His boys are adults,
but I'm sure that they are sad. They are really nice and I've met them many times. He died in Baja which we all hoped he wanted to. He had a good life
and good friends and family who loved him very much. Mike Humfreville will always be a part of baja in our hearts and history and everybody will
remember him no matter what cause we all really loved him. It will be really sad cause in a few days we're gonna go down to baja where Mike and his
family have a really nice house. It will be weird not hearing his laughs and comments. We'll really miss him and I'm sure everybody else will. We're
saying prayers for him and hoping the best that he's really up in Heaven and very happy and no longer in pain. Even though he's passed on we'll love
him as much as we did when he was still with us, if not more.
Cody "
