I am not the guy to be doing RIPs on KZbin videos, but I've got 20 years of affection for this guy that I've never met, I don't know anybody in real life who knows of him, and I've gotta put it somewhere. RIP to a real one, a gentle soul, and clearly a hell of a friend.

I have also been a fan since the late 90’s, the crazy thing is I have talked to him and Mark, back when the internet was still brand new they had a webpage that sold merch and coven vhs tapes signed, on the site it had a random phone number that said call Mike, so I called it and he actually answered! He literally just started talking to me like we where friends it was really cool, I also emailed Mark and he responded, I was in the military at the time so we talked about that and I asked if I could buy him a beer if I ever made it out to Menomonee Falls, he said anytime. These two guys and uncle bill put a smile on my face in some dark times. Rip Mike and Bill long live Mark.
