Mike Maben - RIP

[Aerophile]

So sad to hear. Mike was one of the first of many welcoming interactions I’ve had on LSP and he seemed like a truly good guy. Thanks for letting us know Kev. My condolences to his family and friends. 
 

God Speed Mike

I’m heading out for the group ride this morning, rain is on the radar (which it wasn’t supposed to be) so if I get wet I won’t be complaining, only thinking about Mikey, rest in peace mate …. See ya down the road … 🫡

I was afraid of this news. for the last couple months wondering.

In fact, today, I did a google search and this thread came up ....and I saw that the name of the thread came up with RIP in the title.

I didn't know him but he was one of the friendliest and most encouraging members here!  He would always post emoji or even a nice comment.

He will be missed.

Rest in Eternal Peace, Mike...

RIP Mike.  The news is so sad.  We all thought the news wasn't good back in January, but confirming it actually hurts even more.  What a great contributor to LSP.  You will be missed brother..

Blue skies Mike - and heartfelt condolences to your family and friends.

Oh, I am very sorry to hear this. May he rest in peace. 

Does anybody know how old Mike was when he passed?

I am very saddened by this news. Mike and I joined LSP 

around the same time. 

I always enjoyed his posts and builds!

Cheers

Its rather amazing how sad it can make you and how much someone truly means until after the fact.

[mozart]

Nothing and nobody should ever be taken for granted. One of the great strengths of LSP (and a weakness of several other forums that I no longer visit) is the appreciation shown for an act of kindness, no matter how trivial. I was always brought up to believe that manners maketh man.

He would have been 74 today. 

 

Strangely shaken as if I've lost an old friend.

Oh that is sad news. No age there at 74. I didn't know him personally but saw he had made great contributions to LSP and always appeared friendly toward all.

RIP.

Very sad news indeed and I feared the worst as time went on. Mike was one of those always there members on LSP and who I was in regular contact with over the years. I will miss him very much but rest in peace Mike
