Jim,  Thanks for sharing this with the group.   The publication gives all a better idea of Mike's contributions to his local community.  He will be missed.

 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.
