Title: Sad News Regarding Mike Wilson
Post by: Dreamscape on July 20, 2014, 07:49:24 AM
For those of us who know Mike Wilson, he has done a lot for the bus industry. A lot of our coaches were painted by him over the years.

I heard today he has colon cancer. :'( If you know him, please send him a card or well wishes.

We're here for you Mike and pray for healing!

Yeah I just found out this weekend too.  Will send a card, he was one of the first to send a card when my heart blew up.  Willy and Sherry are good people.  I heard he starts chemo tomorrow.

Which city did or does Mike paint out of? Own his own painting shop or did he work for others?

Mike's hanging in pretty well and has an outstanding outlook on his fight.  I spoke with him about a month ago and he has a positive attitude.

I've never personally met Mike either, but I wish him the best. We've admired his work for a long time also and have always heard nothing but good about him.

    I am one of many with a Willy's Custom Concepts paint job. He did a very good job for me at reasonable price. He is also very good person, that I would certainly do business with again. I wish him the very best  and speedy recovery Wilbur

I tired to find him recently but couldn't.  If and I said if, he needed and is looking for painting projects I would love to talk to him. I had understood that might be the case
