My dad passed away 4 months later, in May ... Born in the same year 1940. Both dearly missed I'm sure.
I really suck at dealing with it. I hope you are okay...
It helps listening to your song Best of Times. Thank you for that...
Good luck Mike!

I've been off the forum for about a month, but I heard this news elsewhere.

Sorry for your news, Mike. Losing your father is horrible, I hope you and your family are getting by ok! I'm sure you're keeping very busy! If you did some lyrics in tribute to your dad on the new album, that would be a great release, I'm sure alot of other fans could relate to them, myself included!

RIP Howard.

I haven't spent much time here in the last year and I'm very sad to hear this news, I've read many times how close Mike was with his father and what a wonderful relationship they had.

Until you meet again....
