I'm wasn't sure where to put this so moderators please move if needed.
We just lost a good friend, Mike Murray.
Mike and Lori bought the MC7 bus conversion we had two coaches ago. Lori called me Saturday and said Mike had been killed while riding his Harley. They were just finishing up the details to go fulltiming next month. What a shock! She was so distraught I had trouble getting the details but, from what I could understand, Mike was following a car that stopped suddenly. The car behind Mike did not stop. You bikers PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! The idiots are everywhere! That is another reason I like to drive the biggest, toughest thing I can. If someone hits me (or I hit them) I want to walk away...
As an aside, Lori cannot bear to see the bus because it reminds her of Mike and their dream. I know everyone on this board is a Newell fan but if anyone knows of someone looking for a bus conversion, please give them my info. I think somebody will get a nice coach cheap.
Secondly, those of us who have coaches and are the primary (only) driver/caretaker, should probably have a discussion with our significant other as to what happens if the worst happens. The surviving party should know where important resources are and how to access them. Lori doesn't have a clue what to do with the coach, how to access the bus boards Mike belonged to, or how to go about dealing with not only the coach, but other important matters that Mike usually handled. I am reviewing my business with my wife in light of this. Perhaps this unfortunate accident will keep others from having problems during difficult circumstances.
