lordairgtar Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Some people on the forum might know Mike Dowd. He's done articles, had builds published and was a great modeler. He lost his battle with Pancreatic Cancer Saturday morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Though I can't place his work, his name sounds familiar. Sorry to hear it. Pancreatic cancer is a tough one. I've lost several people close to me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phirewriter Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Thoughts and prayers for his family! I've known him since the Auto Modelers Group in Milwaukee was founded. Great guy and always eager to promote the hobby. He was instrumental in the founding of the Milwaukee NNL, a contributor to the modeling magazine's and almost always at all the local shows and swaps. As with anyone here in our community it is indeed a great loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Every time I hear of someone who has died of cancer, I get chills. It sort of hits home and makes me wonder why some make it and some don't. I hope Mike's family is at peace. We know that he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miatatom Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) I am so sorry to hear about Mike. It's another sad story about cancer. Too many people are dying from cancer. When I first started teaching at a nuclear plant, we told the students that the cancer rate was 1 out of every 4. That lesson plan has been revised to reflect the new statistic. It's 1 out of every 3 now and on average, incrementally rising each year. I've had cancer all around me in my family and friends. Pure and simple, it's the environment. We're slowly poisoning ourselves to death. Edited October 24, 2016 by Miatatom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Mike will be truly missed by all who knew him, a brilliant builder of Mopar vehicles and a wonderful person to talk "car" with. A sad loss indeed. Edited October 26, 2016 by Kennyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
