It's sad that he passed away. I always hoped that someday he would return to American Pickers. The show never was the same without him.

Loved that show years ago.

He was the cool one too. Always happy, and enjoyed finding the smaller things. What a bummer. RIP

I enjoyed that show, really liked when they'd find a stash of old tin advertising signs from the 50's or one of them old timey Coke machines, thats pure Americana, baybay

I always liked him more than that other guy. RIP good sir

 

[Spam On Rye]

Damn. I share the dudes love for old signs. The only reality show I ever watched.

 

[TKing]

RIP, that show was always a toss on while I'm busy comfort background show. He had a great eye for signs and the ever elusive knucklehead.

 

[Tone C]

RIP.

That sucks. 60 is too young, particularly now that I'm 50. Really brings things home for you as you get older that your days are numbered, you just don't know which number.

Any word on how he copped it?

He was over weight but seemed in good enough health on the show

Used to watch every episode back in the early 2010s. Then stopped. The early episodes had a charm to them.

Same. They started showing too much about the shop and that gal who worked for them. Nothing wrong wrong with that, but it was better when it was all about the picking at the locations themselves.

I really liked that episode they came across this huge collection of old carnival posters/art. Some amazing finds. Fun show.

RIP sir!

Shame that Frank couldn’t bundle one last deal and take Mike with him

I can't imagine it was that loong ago.

Jesus I was just like 28 back then! What happened ? How did we get here? Where are we going? World's a crazy space.

I saw the news and had to tell my mom as she loved to watch American Pickers. I actually like the show as well as it's basically an adventure show.
Pretty sad what happened to him, but you could tell he wasn't in great health in some episodes of the show.

Mike's page has condolences but it was only within the last 2-3 years that he and Frank had a falling out with Frank feeling wronged, when he was replaced by Mike's brother.
