This is truly sad news, I will miss Big Mike and his never ending nicknames he would dream up. Here is Mike in Nashville after the Jack visiting with his long lost kinfolk. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Grudzinski and ISS family. Grace & Eric

Rest in Peace. My condolences to his family and team mates. I never talked to him but always saw him at contests and thought he had the coolest beard of all time. Toasting a shot of jack to you. May god bless you.
