My friend Michael has died. I worked with him for years at LizardTech. He was often times my lunch companion and he was my mentor on many things when I was learning the wonderful world of technology. He was a really sweet person. The last time I saw him was at the airport in Chicago in the middle of the night, I was leaving and he was flying in. We chatted for a bit and said our goodbyes. I have not been in touch with him since then. I read this on his band Silkworm’s message board today:

Subject: semi-official word on Michael
Hello all,
First of all, thanks for your thoughts.
Second of all, here is the sum total of what we know right now:
Michael and our friends John Glick and Doug Meis were traveling from Shure to someplace for lunch.
They were behind a car at a light.
A young woman, bent on doing injury to herself, ran into the back of the car at a high rate of speed.
Evidently, all three guys were killed instantly.
I'm sure more details will come out over time. But those are the facts as I understand them presently.
I don't have much else to say. Except, again, thank you, all of you.
Love,
Tim

Michael was such a great and unique character. It's just so senseless...
I didn't know him very well, but you don't have to know him very well for him to make you feel like you were a long-time friend. He will truly be missed.
(And what a great fu*king drummer he was as well)
