[NSRCA-discussion] Passing of Mike Wingo

[Chuck Hochhalter]

Mike was one of the first people I at Nats, he had a heart of gold, anything he had was yours if you needed it, a great loss for pattern, his family and friends. I am glad he will always be in my memories and I will definitely enjoy a Heineken at site 4 remembering him.

Austin, my thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

Mike was currently living in the Huntsville, AL area.  He and I had become close over the past couple of years, and were planning to have dinner tonite, having spoken earlier today.  His son, Austin, also an NSRCA member, had just returned from Afghanistan and drove to Huntsville once he heard about the heart attack.   Austin, Austin's wife, Mike's ex-wife, Gary Courtney, and I were together at the hospital when we got the horrible news from the ER doctor.  Mike had some health issues, but no indication of heart problems, so this was a complete shock to us all. In fact, Mike had gone to the Eglin contest last weekend with Gary and I.
