To all who knew him as Mike Poyntner. He passed a few weeks before WESTEC.

 

We'll miss you Mike.

Sorry to hear that.

 

Can you tell us a little about him? I remember he was quite active in this forum at one time.

What happened to him. I have talked to him a few times away from the forum. No matter who you are, life is just too short.

Yeah, I first met him about 8 years ago. He cam into a shop I was working in because we had Kitamura Machines. He was doing some service/applications stuff for us. Really sharp and a super nice guy. I met up with him again a few years later when I had just started working for a competing machine tool company and I was sent to my first show - BY MYSELF!!! Well he rememberd me and he gave me a hand setting something up. He always went the extra mile for people. We conversed often after I left the machine tool company and started working for the Local Mastercam Reseller. He ALWAYS used Mastercam in the Kitamura Demos!!!!

 

Unfortunately I did not know much about him outside of his working life. He lived in Cypress though. A few miles away from Kitamura.
