FallingOsh 0 #2 March 24, 2008 Great guy who always took the time to teach and have fun with everyone. I still use some of his rediculous quotes on a daily basis. He's very missed. Blue skies, man. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mustang69 0 #3 March 24, 2008 Mike, You’re a good soul. I’m sorry you left so soon. We’ll all miss you. If you think this gets you out of jumping with me you’re wrong. I’m taking you with me on every jump I make until I see you again. Blue skies, cool breeze ------------------------------------------------------------- “I don’t care what the sign says. If I get low, I’m pulling!” – Mike Oliver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edited to add: I found his PMs in my message list. Yes, it's him, but he posted as FireMedicJumper on here. Condolences to all who knew him."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TFFTM 1 #6 March 25, 2008 DZ plans: We are all deeply saddened with the events that have happened. So to help us cope the DZ will host the following events. Friday night, around 6 or 7 until whenever, we will have a large bon fire so everyone can congregate and tell their "Mike" stories. I'll find something to throw on the grill. If you can bring a small something for the meal that would be great. If we can we will set up the projector to view photos and videos. Saturday around noon during the DZ Easter party we will make a memorial "Mike" way jump. Gunny Holt will be there to jump his large flag. The Silver Wings are also coming to participate. Mike was an integral part of the staff. We want to celebrate the time we had with him and the contributions he has made to our lives. - Daniel ps If you need funeral arrangements email me @ dedwards@buckmasters.com BSBD BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TFFTM 1 #7 July 21, 2008 Mike's memorial page will be in this months (August) Parachutist magazine on page 65. The picture chosen was one from a hoola hoop dive made in Rantoul in 06. A picture from that dive made it into Parachutist magazine but none with Mike in it. He wasn't upset but had really wished he had made it in. I wish I could give props to photographer but I do not know who it was. BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
