More detail on this person: To All Ruthless Riders about one of New England's Best,

Earlier this evening I received a call from Sharon Sipsey, that our old Pal, Blue 31, Mike Sipsey passed away on Sunday November 28. Mike has been going through the process of trying to Beat Cancer for almost 3 years and about 8 months ago was thought to have beaten the disease. Around September he was found to have a re-occurrence of cancer in a number of areas, which I did not know. Mike was a proud guy. I do know that when he was diagnosed 3 years ago, he went through tremendous treatments of cancer curing methods from the Top Cancer Doctors in Boston Hospitals........He battled it hard and after 2 years thought he had it beat. Mike was to have turned 65 on January 28, 2011.

Michael L. Sipsey and Sharon lived in North Andover, Massachusetts, however I don't have their address. Their daughter, Alexandra, lives in Windermere, Fl. and works at Walt Disney World. Sharon is using Mike's Cell Phone and if you would like to call it is 508-560-6127. It might be courteous to wait a few days before calling. She seems to be taking it as proudly as she can. Mike's body is going for Research and there will not be a Funeral or a Service. Mike has wanted to have his remains buried at Washington's Arlington National Cemetery.

Burial information: Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA
