Mike, thanks for providing a place where people can connect around music, art and the tools that we choose to use for that. MW means so much to me and others. Sending peace to your loved ones and wiggling some knobs in your honor.

Mike created a wonderful, generous and friendly community that feels like a world-wide family. He’s said that it all just happened, but Mike’s generosity and open spirit was our guide. It would never have happened without him. We’ll miss him, but we’ll keep his spirit going.

Deepest sympathy to all of Mike's family and loved ones. Much of our success is deeply rooted within the MuffWiggler community Mike created; we're eternally grateful for all his contributions to that community, as well as his presence in our lives, which will never be forgotten. May his legacy endure.
