Mike Meyers has passed away

First topic message reminder :

I regret to report that my Friend Mike Meyers has passed away recently. He was in India doing his yearly charity work when it happened. I met him at our club (HRPC Hollywood Fl) a fews years ago and we became friends. I would see him often, shoot his many pistols at his request and give my opinions. I enjoyed our conversations and will truly miss Mike.....a great loss. RIP Mike.

I am sad to receive this news about Mike.  He and I never meant in person, but we had many, many conversations regarding his love of the Model 52 pistol.  I had a bit more experience with them and gladly passed on any info I could give him and he always appreciated the help.  In fact I once wrote a lengthy email to him about my love of the Model 52 and it was loaded with things I have run into on occasion and the cures I came up with.  Mike wanted to make public the email I wrote him to help others and I told him he could do so without hesitation if he thought it would help someone.

I know there are many on this and other forums that appreciate these fine old pistols, but Mike was exceptional in that regard.  I had always hoped to meet him some day just to sit and chat, but I guess that day will have to wait for a while.  Mike was truly one of the few really nice guys I have run into and he will be missed.

sorry to hear about mike. always enjoyed his posts! RIP !

Rick H, l would enjoy your thoughts on the 52. It was my first real CF gun. I had a lot of information from Jerry Keefer when he rebuilt Amanda’s gun. I’ll have to try and find it
