60 is way to young. God's speed sir.

 

I think every time someone we know personally or even over the 'net dies, a part of us dies as well. Losing a member who has had a presence here over the years is tough; I think he would want the group to celebrate his contributions and raise a glass in his memory.

 

Sad news, Mike was very helpful to me. He put me in contact with an accounting firm in California who were able to assist me in some what complicated income tax issues. Thanks again buddy, and RIP.

 

Good luck on your journey Mike.
Nice to have shared with you.
Peace

 

Very sad to hear this...condolences to his family.

 

Thank you for taking the time to sort out Mr. Kelley's contacts and letting us know of this sad news.

I never had any direct contact with Mr. Kelley but he struck me as an awful nice guy. He seems to have left a nice impression of himself with many people in the watch collecting community. He certainly left me with that impression. In the end, legacy is what matters most.

RIP, Mike Kelley.

 

I think you need to stick to seiko's 7a38, this thread was not the time or place to be trying to sell your watches. Very inappropriate.

 

What are you on about.
He was showing a watch that he remembered Mike for.
Were do you get the trying to sell from

Did you even read the thread or post.

 

I'm 60. I feel for Mike and his family.. That is too young to lose.

 

Why on Earth resurrect a 5 year old thread with a post like that. Makes about as much sense as banging your head hard against a wall for no particular reason.

 

I gave him the benefit of the doubt and figured he was probably up late and was drunk, or drug addled, and just made a foolish post in that stupor. A sane person wouldn't have resurrected a five year thread and say something so dumb. It really made no sense for a person thinking straight. But who knows, people will often do strange, incomprehensible things that make no sense.
