Mike Adams passed away this morning from complications of a surgery he recently underwent.
Mike was a great friend to many, myself included. His passion was 25/28mm Ancients. Specifically early to middle Roman armies and Greek and Macedonian armies.
Mike was always ready with a joke or quick comeback and had a heart that was larger than life for his friends. We have gamed in Mikes basement every summer for the past few years and have enjoyed every game.
Mike is survived by his wife who has wholeheartedly supported his hobby and passion. He also leaves behind a group of gaming friends and acquaintances far too large to name. He will be missed by many, especially by our little band of dice rollers who will never find another like Mike.
Mike, I hope that you are rolling 6's in Heaven and if you think about it, send a few our way.
