Oh no... Ray, I just don't know what to say, bud.
I know how close you guys were and the pain you must be feeling right now.

Mikey tackled every obstacle life put in his way and soldiered on gallantly, he never ever gave up, never voiced one iota of complaint for his condition, and was always there to help anyone at SCE when asked.

He will be dearly missed.
The world has lost a brave man that was simply an inspiration to all who knew him... if he was born here he would have been tailor-made for the monicker "A little Aussie Battler".

All choked up here thinking about the last thing I said to him in late November: " Have a good Xmas break, mate and I'll catchya at the start of the 2015 season."

Darnit, Mikey... gonna miss ya badly bud.
As Ray said, we smile fondly knowing you're finally forever relieved of those mortal constraints placed upon you in your time with us.

Free to ride with us forever, my friend, forever.

RIP 25_Mike_Koon
