IowaHoosierFan Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 So sorry to hear this. Mile was such a good man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I haven’t been on much lately, lots going on in my little world. I hopped on tonight to see how folks felt about the game, and season thus far. I immediately saw this post and am so saddened to hear of the loss of our friend, Ken. I haven’t posted much recently, but would always get a message from Mile(Ken) when I would. He and CC are the primary reasons why I kept up over the years. I’d get an email from Ken, letting me know when we were merging, or moving on from the old sites. I never met Ken in person, but felt like I’ve known him for 20 years. What a sh!tty year this has turned out to be. May God bless him and his family. He was truly one of the best IU fans I’ve ever talked with. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. As much as I love our back and forth conversations on here, I love the friendships even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADGERVOL Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 This is just so awful. I am so saddened. I’ve been away so long and came back to this. Just heartbreaking. 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Haven’t had a chance to comment on this yet... This is just devastating. Even through an internet message board, you could tell Mile was a truly good person with a great outlook on life. He loved all things IU, and was really a credit to the institution. This board won’t be the same without him welcoming new posters, thanking old posters for being members, and telling us “which way the winds were blowing” in recruiting threads. My prayers go out to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUfan93 Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Wow I’m just now seeing this...I’m in complete shock. He was taking a break from posting so I just figured he was lurking. This is so sad. He was such a champion for this forum and for his Hoosiers. Prayers to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 I'm going to miss milehiiu's presence. I got a couple Lou Malnatis pizzas for Christmas, smoked some food in his honor, wish I could have packed it up an shared it. Just really sad is all. 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Mile, you were always a good man. Seeing a picture of you makes it harder because it’s real. You always invited people to come by in Colorado. It’s the type of thing many of us had in the back of our minds to actually do. We are thinking about you and missing you, buddy.

I started this one for Ken because he was a great friend and I'm very close with his family. I'm aware of the financial burden his wife will have. If someone knows more information about Eric's family and can get one started, I would be all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wafflehead_Fred Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 I want to thank everyone for the GoFundMe contributions and to anyone who sent Ken's wife, Jo, a card to the address posted. I am going to shut down the GoFundMe this Friday so if anyone wishes to still contribute, know this would be the deadline for it and anything afterward would have to be mailed to her directly at the address provided in the original post. I'll be adding my own contribution and writing a check to her for the complete amount this weekend. The family wants to eventually read through this thread once they are ready. A personal thank you to all who commented and shared their feelings and stories of Ken. He was a wonderful person and a great ambassador for IU, but especially this community and it's shown with all the kind words and messages from individuals in this thread.
