04.20.09- IN LOVING MEMORY
Michael "Mik" Vitti, Founder of the NYCFCPUG/Moving Pictures Collective and true friend of the community was pronounced dead at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada at 12:06am today. Cause of death is Arterial Sclerotic Artery Disease that was unknown to most of us. Mik was in town for the NAB convention and he's been such a driving force in this community, and a selfless volunteer for the IMUG and many other user groups and trade organizations, from the Supermeet, to Mopictiv, and much more. Keith Larsen was notified this afternoon by Dan Berube and contacted the Las Vegas coroners' office where it was confirmed. For anyone who knew the gentle giant, please pause and remember one hell of a guy. We love you Michael. Read what the entire world has to say about Michael's passing and his contributions both online and in the production community at the iMUG: http://www.imugonline.com/events/2009/michaelvitti.shtml
Mik would want us to remember all the good times and camaraderie we shared!
