Still miss you bud...

I was checking in on the site like I periodically do, and I wanted to post something about my bud Mike, seeing how it's been over 5 years since I was last able to talk to him...
I was the one who originally convinced him to make a Skype account (He originally thought Skype was a cell provider haha) so we could voice chat without having to deal with the finicky Yahoo Messenger voice chat, so from early 2010 to mid 2011 we talked pretty regularly and pretty soon we had a "Mike's Railroad Crossing Site Group Chat" featuring some of the regulars of the site at that time.
He eventually added me as an admin on the forums, and I was an admin on here from 2010-2013, minus a short time in 2011 where we bickered for a short time but we did sort everything out in the end, thank god.
I still miss him greatly, I miss chatting about Crossings, Video Games, and Music, it's a shame he wasn't able to stay around a bit longer, as The Beach Boys started making a new album as well as going on their 50th anniversary tour about 4 months after he passed away and they were his favorite band, so he would of loved to see/heard that.... Although knowing him, he would have found something to complain about haha.
I wish I could of said something better to him as "last words" but how was I supposed to know that it would be my final chance to talk to him, he actually sounded pretty normal. Anyways the final words I said to him were... "Be right back" Then he had to get going in the 20 minutes I was gone ...Oh well I guess there are worse things I could of said heh.
Anyways, Mike, your site currently isn't exactly what you may have wanted but hopefully all is well in heaven... any teardrop bells up there? hah.
I'm blasting this one today for you bud.
