    I have met Michael and Karla a number of times. Truly terrific and big hearted people. Always a pleasure. My heart goes out to Karla. She's had a trying time. Michael was a great Blazers fan. None better. Michael, you will be missed.

    Oh that's right, I wasn't paying attention. Maybe that would give a little more time to get the Blazers a few pictures for the next home game.

    Wow, this is devastating news. I bought his tickets from him several times when he couldn't attend the games. A great guy, a true fan and a beloved contributor to this forum. He will sincerely be missed. Condolences to his family. They, and we, lost a good one.

    Horrible news. Rest in Peace, friend. Condolences to all affected by this! I never met him, but from his posts I could tell he was a kind hearted fellow with a lot to offer!

    I sent a tweet to Mike Barrett about it, and asked if he could do a tribute.

    MGB had been with this community for as long as I can remember, and I know he's been battling health problems for a while, but it's still truly sad to see him go. Our little family lost one of the great ones.

    I'm out and about. When I get home, we'll figure out how to permanently mark his memory in the site.

    I knew him since the 1990s. This is terrible news.

    Wish I could steal that for my avatar. But then some people might think you were me. And I know you don't want that!

    Is there any way we could get some kind of group card, or flowers, or SOMETHING for his funeral? Maybe we could do a get together to toast his memory. Meet up for a drink and a toast to MGB.

    My heart goes out to all his family and friends. I know that he is in a better place, and that we should all be happy for him. It is the rest of us who will miss him, and feel the absence of his personable attitude. May God hold you Mike, thank you for sharing your self with us.
