[NSRCA-discussion] Passing of Mike Wingo

[Ronald Van Putte]

Mike and I go WAY back and he was even at our contest last weekend.  

He had plans for the future and shared them.  He also had physical problems and he shared information on that too.  

I am saddened about Mike’s death, but in the near future I will bring back the good memories involving Mike and dwell on them.  I’d rather think about his droll good humor.

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.
