So sad to read this. He was such a great help to so many of us here.

Thanks for letting us know

Very sad news indeed. Cheshire Figments posts were always so accurate and informative. His help got many us through the maze of ticket options and he'll be very much missed. RIP

Its so sad to lose a member - I never met him but he was such a presence on the board. He will be missed.

Such sad news. Condolences to his family, and our DIS family.

I never got to meet Mike personally. I always wanted to do that.

Thanks, DIS for acknowledging Mike with the memorial banner.

Thanks, DIS for acknowledging Mike with the memorial banner.

Definitely!

I was thinking the other day that if The DIS had a Main Street USA,Cheshire Figment would be so deserving of a "window"!

My prayers are with his family and friends. I know he was much loved by many here and he will be missed.

Someone so helpful will surely be missed. My prayers are with his family.

I remember meeting Mike and Judy Sue in the early years of pin trading and the first DISCon. I got a kick out of the stuffed Cheshire Cat and Figment characters he kept in the basket of his ECV.

In later years, I would refer to his ticket sticky often and always thought how nice it was to be able to put a face to his name since I had met him.

He has been on my mind recently when I went looking for the ticket sticky, couldn't find it, and was told he hasn't been keeping it up. It brought me sadness to learn he has passed on.

You realize the impact someone has had on your life, even in a small way, after they are gone.

Missing you Mike. Thank you for all you were and all you've done sharing with others. God has surely blessed you.

This sentiment is beautifully put. My condolences to Mike's family.

Rest in Peace, CF. You will be missed!

That's a big loss to the DIS, and to the "world" at large. Rest in peace, friend.

Sorry to hear of Mike's passing. It's crazy to think about the number of people he helped through the DIS. All the people helped directly with the threads he posted on and all the people who were helped by reading them, without ever posting themselves. There are a few members on here that are referenced by others - you know, the... "I'm not sure, but Cheshire Figment will be along shortly to help you out" type of comments. Because of your kind words and willingness to help, you are admired by many.
My sympathies to Cheshire's family and friends. I'm sure he will be dearly missed.

So sorry. Thoughts to his family.

I read about Mike's passing a few days ago. It is really nice to come back to the boards today and see the memorial banner for him.

Thank you for cross-posting this. I would have missed it entirely.
Cheshire Figment was one of the first posters who stuck out to me when I joined 8 years ago. I'd often wondered where he was keeping himself of late.

How very sad, he will be missed. I think I met Mike and Judy in the very early days of the Internet at R.A.D.P. meets.

Thanks for everything, Mike.
