RIP Mike Seeger:
I received this email from Mike’s wife, Alexia, last night:

Dear family, dear friends… Mike has completed his passage. He died this evening, August 7, some time before 9 pm. Family, home, peace. It’s what he wanted, and he did it so gracefully. It went too fast for me to comprehend–but he always said “I don’t want to linger!” Clear in what he’s about, as always.
The love coming from you and from friends all over is just amazingly helpful, sustaining. Thank you. Love——–A
