Re: [bomp] Mike O

[Bob Widenhofer <bwidenhofer@xxxxxxxxx>]

You're very kind Linda.  
   
  I thought I was holding up okay until last night, when my wife said "the first time I remember hearing Mike's name was when someone told us a friend of yours posted our wedding announcement in the the newspaper"...and that friend of mine was Mike O'Neill, whose day gig was at the Tampa Tribune.  We've been married for 13 years and I knew Mike for years before I ever met my wife, I guess it got me thinking about how far back my friends and I go w/ Mike.
   
  This is gonna' suck for quite a while.

I don't have any interesting stories to tell about Mike O'Neill. We had
exchanged some emails in the past offlist but nothing mindblowing, just
some pleasant chit-chat. I never met him in person, nor even listened to
his music (which will be corrected, although I'm ashamed that it took his
death to prompt me to get a hold of his music).

Yet yesterday I was terribly upset (and still am) about Mike's death. I
feel a deep loss for his friends, for his family, for the Bomp and the
larger "garage" music community, and for myself that I never had a chance
to meet him in person. RIP, Mike.
