Postby GRAMY » Sun May 10, 2015 9:38 am

If anyone is interested, Mike of Mike's Notes passed away last month.
I don't have any information other than the link below. I just thought people might like to know the man that helped so many of us on this forum.
Thank you for your commitment to help others. Thank you for helping me.

Prayers & condolences to your family Mike.

oh my goodness! how did you ever find this? He certainly helped me in the last few months. I am so sorry to hear about this. This seemed awfully quick. I wonder what happened. He commented on so many recent posts it seems. Thanks for posting. Wishes to his family.

I am shocked and deeply saddened by this news. Mike has helped SO MANY ARE candidates on this forum and others. He was very selfless and just wanted to help in any way he could…. and that, he certainly did. I know that I learned a lot from his honest and sincere demeanor. Please write a remembrance of him here and I ask COACH to forward this link to his family. Rest in peace Mike, you have made many lives better. david

I am absolutely shocked.

I never met Mike in person but I considered him a friend. I knew that the structural forum was always in good hands with him there.

I can't even begin to express what a loss this is.


Please show his family your appreciation: http://www.randallroberts.com/tribute/d ... tent-start

Oh my Gosh....
Didn't see his comments lately, I thought he was on vacation.
Oh Gosh, may God bless you Mike, and have a wonderful vacation.

I've been busy the past 2 months hunkering down for Structures and mostly off the board...keeping his notes close by.

So unbelievably sad. From his posts he gave so much to so many people. Such selflessness.

This is shocking news, he was the go to guy for the structural exam. His notes were the first thing I read to prepare for this exam. He answered every question I posted, post the question at night and his answer would be there in the morning.
Life is so short, rest in peace Mike we will miss you.

I just turned off David Thaddeus' video and decided to check out ARE Coach since I haven't checked in in a few weeks. My heart skipped a beat and my stomach did a thud when I read the topic. "NO" was the first thought, "It can't be!"

I am so very saddened. A most telling thing that Mike-SE wrote was that he did this because he felt that GOD wanted him to do this. And he contributed wholeheartedly and with integrity and honor, to help us - strangers.

Rest in GOD's eternal peace, Mike. I am sure that your reward for your faithfulness in sharing your gifts, talents and abilities with us will be great as you honored GOD with your faith in action.

GOD's peace and comfort to his family, friends, loved ones...and to his ARE Coach students and friends.

Rifka sent this post to me, and I was very saddened by this news.
But I won't be sad.

I will say Thank you Mike-SE for your help. Although, I didn't know you personally, I read through your notes and your responses to everyone's posts. Something which may have seemed so simple to you, has touched the lives of so many.

We all work in our daily lives, hoping our efforts have purpose and meaning. We can see here, from his obituary, that his life was much bigger than helping us. His work with the forum was just a tiny part of his journey. And yet, to us, his notes and comments were HUGE.

May he rest in peace, and may his family be comforted in their time of need.

He was very gracious and charitable. His contributions helped re-awaken lost knowledge we all forgot about after school. I always wondered how selfless this man is. I asked myself why? He must have known that deep down inside, most architects are not comfortable with their lack of knowledge in this area. He affected a lot of people in a positive, productive and charitable way.

If there is a fundraiser somewhere out there, please point me to it. A publication of his, let me know and I'll buy or download it. A collection of his greatest posts is another great way to remember him by. And maybe this can help the family out in some way.

Mike if you are out there, thank you and GOD Bless You. Please rest in peace. May your good works be rewarded my brother.

Wow! This is so unexpected! I just passed the SS test and couldn't have done it without Mike's notes, especially on the vignette... So sorry to hear this. It really is a great loss. I loved reading his older posts (he did have an interesting sense of humor!). He will be missed for sure.

So sorry to hear the news. Although I didn't know him personally, he did comment on my structure vignettes and answered all the questions I asked him. Very noble person. He will be missed. May his soul rest in peace. Prayers for his family and loved ones.

Did anyone have the honor of hearing mike's story of why he decided to become a registered architect? I've been reading his guides and he says "don't ask why unless you have time for a long, faith based story."

I gather from his obituary that he was a devout catholic.

Oh my gosh, how sad. I was just going to post to this to thank him for the notes, I would not have passed the vignette without them, thank you Mike!!!! With 4 days left in my rolling clock for PPP, his notes helped me more than anything else, more than Dorf, Kaplan and Ballast. Sending good thoughts into the universe for him! And thank you Coach for this forum, after a lot of procrastination and 3 fails, I'm done with my exams.
