[Farmall] Mike Sloane

[Jim Becker]

I can echo the same thoughts several of you have already stated.  Mike will 
certainly be missed by many people.  I am going to repeat here (without 
additional edits) the comments I made on the farmallcub web site:

I considered Mike to be a good friend, although we never met face to face. 
He was one of the early members of the original ATIS mailing list.  Cubs and 
other machinery were only one of his wide variety of interests.  The ATIS 
Cub FAQ was originally written by Bob Brooks.  However, Mike and I reviewed 
and edited the contents before it was published.  A number of "standard 
practices" posted on this site have had the benefit of Mike's contributions.

Mike was heavily involved with his community (another topic that he and I 
discussed on occasion).  Take a look on page 10 of this publication.  It was 
written last winter after his health forced him to resign from his position 
as Councilman in Allamuchy Township.  It will give you some idea of his 
contributions to his community.

I wanted to let the members know the sad news that Mike Sloane, long
time friend, and member of the ATIS site, passed away today, after a
long illness.  He will be sorely missed.
