For those that knew mike, he was a "strapping" type guy. IE broad shoulders, etc. Last time I saw him he looked incredibly frail and appeared to have lost a massive amount of weight/muscle (he was never overweight at all, IMHO). No doubt something that could affect him physically could also affect his personality as well, although I have chatted with him on ICC many times and he seemed like "Mike" to me, but perhaps that is because we have known each other for 20+ years...
