After we moved to VA I had always hoped we could connect but he had some health struggles that pushed it back. So sad to hear this.

James Michael Thompson, born October 16, 1952, passed away September 11, 2021. He was preceded in death by his father, James, and brother-in-law, Steve Smith. He is survived by his mother, Minnie Thompson, and siblings, John Thompson (Bess), Fred Thompson (Denetta), and Richard Thompson, and Jane Smith. He is also survived by his wife, Linda Thompson, children Brad Thompson (Mary), Kevin Thompson, Stephen Thompson, David Thompson, and Kimberly Gorhan, and his grandchildren Laura, Phillip, Seth, Natalie, Levi, Sawyer, and Hudson.
Mike loved to make people laugh. He enjoyed playing the guitar. He also loved to delight others with his cakes and pies.

Was wondering why I had not heard from him in a while. Mike was a good natured person, even when life was hard he took it in stride. I remember when he lost his drivers license and was hopeful that the medication would do the trick. Sadly it did not and he lost his license to drive.
But he did ok, he had his family and his love of Guitars and pie.

It saddens me to post this, it saddens me even more that I missed my friend for over a year and never took a minute until now.

RIP Mike, save some pie for the rest of us.

Reading this post is very sad for myself as I knew many of the people who passed on. Having lost my first wife about 20 years back when my children were in their teens I will simply say that it must happen . Life has an expiration date for all of us.
Just found out from Villain that Jim (JW) Cleary of St Peterburg, Fla, left us a few months ago. He ran a shop called FieroMotive. I did some business with him. He was a nice guy and treated me fairly. I bought one of the last C4 Taillight panels that he had him and I think of him when I look at my Fiero.

So sad to read this thread, so many people I remember over the past 20+ years on here... when I joined... when I was basically just a kid.

I see that Ed Parks died too... so disappointing, and sad that I'm only now finding out only 2 years later.

This is the 24th year of this forum. Many of us were here from the beginning and joined when we were in our 20's and 30's. In that crowd there are now many middle age and senior Fiero owners. The good news is that the Fiero hobby still seems to attract the youth and at Carlisle there are many.
We cannot halt the life cycle, but pay tribute to those we have lost and take joy and appreciate the living Fiero community as we do here. .

So true!

I was 18 when I got my Fiero in 1996, and the first thing I joined was Peter Zurich's Yahoo mailing list. I came on here fairly early-on, at least a year or two earlier than my join date, but I lost the account name and password. I actually had two accounts, one at work, and one at home... hahah... but I've long since forgotten the one at home. But yeah, I was definitely in my early 20s. I'm 45 now... and it's crazy to me how time has flown.
