RIP mjkm90
Last night, Mike Hovet (mjkm90) entered heaven. He was one of the truest, nicest, and strongest men I have ever known. His battle with cancer was a valiant one. He will be missed greatly by his family, friends, co-workers, and of course, his hobby friends. He was many's best buddy. I looked forward to seeing him every year at the National and talking on the phone sometimes daily. His wonderful wife Jo will update a couple of us on the board and we will be sure to share pass along info.
RIP Mike. http://www.net54baseball.com/member.php?u=297 Last edited by sundevil; 10-04-2017 at 09:15 AM.

I never had the good fortune to know Mike, but, from what has already been said, I can tell that is my loss.
RIP Mike. In Mike's honor and others who we have lost, let's all remember to take the extra effort to thank and appreciate those we communicate with. Life is Beautiful, but almost always shorter than we anticipate. -

It's so hard to be writing these words so soon after hearing the news. But will give it a shot....
Mike was simply the finest person I've had the good fortune to know (either inside or outside of the hobby). He was always thinking of others, always upbeat, so brave, and had such integrity. He was incredibly smart, hard working, and had a razor sharp sense of humor. He battled his recurring cancer so valiantly, and remained incredibly positive up until the very end. He was a great family man, and a very dear friend. Despite being 2,000 miles away, it always felt like he was right next door. He had a great eye for Baseball collectibles, and loved to share his insights and information. Mike was always among the first to compliment someone else's collection, or congratulate fellow collectors on a new acquisition. He was a tremendous contributor to the hobby and to the Memorabilia Forum. He will be missed by so many people. We lost a truly great person last night... one that I'll miss for the rest of my days. I just hope and pray that Mike's friends and family can be at peace knowing the pain is now gone, and that he's in a better place.

Such sad news. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him but just by seeing how much others liked and respected him brings a sadness to me.

I'm stunned. Mike was one of my very favorite people on the board. I loved the stuff he collected, but he was kind, thoughtful, and warm...which is all that really matters. I will certainly miss him.

I remember his posts, particularly about pinback buttons and his sharing of photos of his collection. That he was such an enthusiastic and nice guy translated through his postings, and his joy impacted many folks he never got to know in person. Sad to hearing of his passing. Condolences to his family and those fortunate enough to know him personally. RIP Mike. Thanks for sharing your joy with us.

I'm 6.5 years out from a cancer diagnosis. I had no idea Mike was a chemo brother. My thoughts go out to Mike's family. RIP, Mike.
