    My name is Chip Woodman a good friend of Mikes. He thought of the forum as family and I thought you would want to know.

    Though I never met him, I read many of his posts on this forum for years. Definitely one of the "good guys" - I'm so sorry to hear this news. Prayers up for his family - God rest his soul.

    Jesus.... I'm at a loss for words. I always looked to CWM as a BBQ sage, even when I was just a lurker here :(

    I just called that number and while Chip didn't answer I left a call back number. Surely some one here has Mike's cell - have you called it?

    I never met Mike, but I did read many of his posts. It was easy to tell that he was a very caring person. May God bless his family and may he rest in peace.

    Ron, I just emailed Kari, DOW, and let her know. She has his #. Also, perhaps Nancy's, his mom

    I am sadden by the news of Mike. I have always wanted to meet him and shake his hand, he helped me out many times on the forum and I'm thankful for that. He will be missed.

    Morning All:

    I just noticed too that the forum shows him as being logged on within the past hour. I just tried calling him and got a message that the mailbox was full. I hope this is a mistake, but somehow don't think it is.

    Have a GREAT day!

    I just talked to Chip, and very very sadly, this is true. I'm devastated, as many of you are! Mike was one of my best buddies and I'll miss him greatly. I just talked to him last week and everything seemed fine. Rest in peace, my dear friend........

    I just hung up the phone from Chip...a friend of Carwash Mike and his family for a very long time. Though Chip was kind enough to post his phone #, please refrain from calling. He is quite torn up at this time, and I think we should all respect his privacy in this terrible time.
    Carwash Mike was found deceased in his home today. A very sad day for all of us to say the least. He has been a well known forum member with tons of great input over the years...and is famous for his CWM Rib Method.
    We will keep everyone informed of funeral arrangements as soon as we can. A very sad day for the Egg Nation to say the least.
    Carwash Mike....May you rest in peace. You will be missed our friend.

    WoW! I just jumped back online after checking on dinner on the small BGE & read this. I always read Mike's post's since 2000 as I owned a Car Wash as well. I am flabergasted. Does anyone know what he passed from and when this week? Let's all pray for his family.
