I didn't personally know Mike but the place he created was and still is one off the greatest synth communities of the web. Rest In Peace.

My condolences to all friends and family. I only had a few fleeting conversations online with Mike but his forum meant the world to me, a great repository of knowledge and a nice community. He built that and I'm very grateful for it. Wishing you well from Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Repose en paix Mike. Toutes mes condolences aux proches et a la famille.
Mike brought 1000s of people together via his Muffwiggler forum. So many of us would not be where we are, nor would there be the large amount of options available if it were not for his uncanny idea to start a forum about cats and modular synthesizers. But mostly cats. Countless people owe their current existence to Mike, and not a lot of people can claim that. He was one in a million. Wiggle on my man!!
