Tragic news. I'm personally on the home forum more than the garden forum, so I can't say I knew Mike, but my deepest condolences to all bereaved. Thank you for sharing the sad news Lynne. Best wishes

Lynne, I also don't know Green Thumb, but I imagine there are friends on one of these forums who are missing him dearly right now. I tried to search and found a few Green Thumbs. I have many longterm, real-life friends I met on this forum, and, over time, we have lost a few of our dearest. We think of those friends often and with real grief---even now a few years later. So please know that Mike's friends and friendships here were real and fond and that he will be missed. I'm sorry for your loss.
