My respect to Mr. Humpreville's family and extended family. Mike was a very nice man that we will all miss. I briefly spoke with Mike at the end of
the Pyramid Resorts book party on May 6th, 2006. He admired the row of Jeeps that arrived at this event...although, we did arrive late. We all
benefitted greatly by knowing him.

Yes, thanks to you Bob for that photo and a couple others were taken by Bedman at my and M's events.
The one I took of Mike examining a piece of cholla (jumping cactus) at Las Flores after our Lost Mission Hunt (July 4, 2001) is one of my favorites...
Each photo of Mike tells a story... As it should... Mike was the greatest story teller the Internet has been fortunate to have!
I remembered thinking that Mike (a JPL man) was thinking of how to improve a Mars lander when he was looking at the cholla.

Thanks DK for the pictures. I too met Mike at the matomi run, but got to know him better thru his writing. My condolences to Mary Ann and their sons
and all their family. We only pass thru this lifetime once and what we do while here leaves a lasting impression. For some that impression will be
cherished for ever. All who met him and the many that knew him will remember for ever.
God speed

I have just asked Dave to either post something or let me know what is going on. As soon as I hear I will let everybody know if that is the wish of
Mary Ann.
I will ask that others not rush to contact Dave as he and Juanita have their hands full right now.

Please let us know if someone that is going to LA Bay would be willing to bring flowers, food or whatever else may be needed, in our absence.
I am certain that any support we can show will be appreciated.
Thank you.

We are truly sad to hear of Mike's passing. What a jolt.
I always look for his stories when I come to the Nomad board.
A couple of years back, I especially liked the series describing the 1985 "Tempests of Summer" vacation homebuilding adventure with the whole family
near LA Bay.
Best to Mary Ann and the family

Just read about this sad thing today. Our condolences Maryann and family. Mike was a man who not only lived his life to the fullest, he had the gift
to describe it to us.
Here's to ya Mike.

Only met twice and I thank God I had the courage to share with him face to face how much I appreciated his writings and thoughts especially around his
internal thinking process for his move to BLA. They were so raw, honest and complete.
Until our paths cross again Mike...... Tim

I haven't viewed this board in months, and was shocked to find this.
MaryAnn, we're sorry for your loss and are thinking of you. Mike was an exceptional person and will be greatly missed.
