Just heard of this sad news. I never had the chance to meet Mike, but he truly seemed to have a genuine and true love for the sport of bodybuilding. Always came across as a happy guy and fun to be around.
Rest in peace Big Mike.
My condolences to Mike's family and to Mel for loosing such a close friend and 'brother'
Mel, once you have had time to grieve I hope you and the RX Muscle crew (Dave) can write some great articles and videos about Mike that I'm sure only you could tell and keep the spirit alive. I'm sure Mike would be proud!

Remember hearing about when he had to hang up the trunks, and getting the triple bypass surgery. Sad news, RIP Mike.

R.I.P Mike.
Is there an official statement as to what finally made him take his last breath? We all know he had some serious heart issues and for a long time. What a sad day for all of us bodybuilding fans. Mike's pictures on the bodybuilding magazines always used to inspire me as a kid.

Definitely one of the greats IMO, and certainly one who inspired me as a kid. Very sad to hear of his passing.
