Subject: Re: [californiadisasters] Special Notice: R.I.P. Moderator Mike Lanning
Achtung Volk!
It is with great sadness and emptiness of heart that I announce the sudden and untimely death of moderator Mike Lanning.
He was found dead by a neighbor in his Phoenix-area apartment a day or two ago and appears to have died over the holiday weekend.
Some of you here might be familiar with him by his name or by his handle "CWZWILDFIRE" which often appeared with frequent and informative postings on various fire and scanner related groups from the Hotlist on Wildlandfire.com to the ICP incident alert service in Arizona to Southwest Scanner on Yahoo Groups to even here on occasion when he had some bit of information or an angle on something the rest of us did not that enhanced the conversation thread and made this group all the better for his being here.
Mike will be sorely missed, indeed he already is missed. His last posting anywhere was on July 2nd and given his prolific posting pattern, that four day span of no posts by him is a disquieting silence on groups like Southwest Scanner.
Most importantly, Mike was a wonderful human being with a heart of gold and a sweetness of spirit. Speaking for myself for whom Mike was a friend, I feel kicked in the stomach by this news and at times when I think about it I feel like crying and I'm no sissy la-la.
