His signature lines of "Mudge the ________" (fill in the blank) always made my day.

RIP Mudge

Very sorry to hear. My condolences.
I always enjoyed his posts and often simply sought only his salutation.
He was a bright spot on the net.
Blue Skies,
VL

Although I had not seen him in a number of years, he will be missed. He was quite the character! A really nice guy. My condolences to Mrs. Mudge.

When I sent a PM to Lin I attached a couple photos of Mudge and she thanked me - she said he wasn't in many of their photos (too busy shooting planes!). If you have any photos of him you could send her, I think she'd appreciate it.

Bill, I missed getting in that group shot at Thunder, trying for one last shot, elsewhere on the ramp.

Thought about Mudge a while back, missing his sharp witted postings and his enthusiasm.

My sincerest condolences to his wife, his family and his friends everywhere and here at WIX.

He will not be sorely missed. He is been sorely missed already.

Saludos,


Tulio

Like many have said, I didn't have much in the way of contact with him but I really enjoyed his posts. I send you my condolences and a sincere thank you for taking the time to let everyone know what happened. Again, very sorry for your loss.

Sad news indeed. Mudge was a wonderful member of the site and he will be sorely missed.
