I just learned that Mike Dahms lost his battle with Covid and passed away this morning. Those of you who knew Mike, know of his unique brand of humor and many of you were beneficiaries of his generosity. He will leave a deep void that will be impossible to fill. Please keep Rhonda, Sam, Noah and the Dahms family in your prayers.

Re: Mike Dahms Passed Away
Oh man....that is too bad. I just met Mike at Canvention when he did some rubout can stuff on the spot for me on the trade floor.
Sympathies for his family and God Speed Mike.

Re: Mike Dahms Passed Away
My last memory of him is smiling and laughing at Canvention. I am just devastated at the loss of a truly unique and great man in our hobby.
He always made sure to help my son at all the shows and paid attention to him.
you will be greatly missed Mike!!

Re: Mike Dahms Passed Away
Definitely a sad day. Mike was a lot of fun to be around. Never once left his company without a smile or chuckle. Going to miss him. Thoughts and prayers are with his family, BigCityDave, and the rest of his friends. Rest In Peace.

Re: Mike Dahms Passed Away
Still shocked seeing he has passed. Such a heartbreaking way to go, without family or friends to be with you. He was quite the character and always had something funny to say. Prayers to Rhonda, his family and friends. R.I.P. Mike!

Re: Mike Dahms Passed Away
I met him while working at the RB table at this past Canvention and he was buying raffle tickets. We all joked around some and I talked with him briefly at a later event at the show. Seemed like the type of guy that everyone would enjoy being around. Life is too short!

Re: Mike Dahms Passed Away
Very true. He did not look too old. 60 perhaps? Regardless, too young to pass on.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Re: Mike Dahms Passed Away
I am really sorry to hear this news. I did not know Mike personally but it grieves me whenever we loose a fellow Rusty Buncher. I pray all who interacted with him at Canvention remain well.
