I first saw the tragic news of CM's passing on the Shop Talk section of this Site before I had noticed this much deserved tribute dedication thread to Charlie Mike. Like many on here, I only knew of CM because of his postings on here and some other social media foot prints. I always found him to be both funny with an unabashed sense of humor combined with his thoughtfulness and the sharp presence of of mind.
Although the news of his passing is very numbing, it's great comfort to see that many, many, many care about him and are expressing their sorrow by sharing their fond memories, whether the connections were made in ether or IRL.
Here's Blade Forum's Charlie Mike's YT channel for those interested, if for nothing else than to celebrate and to appreciate his contributions:
