<p>Beautifully written David. As you know, as part of the museum membership I had the opportunity to spend a little time with Mira over the past few years. I worshipped him as a youngster and came to greatly admire him in the few recent years I came to know him. There will never be another like him.</p>

<p>If only modern sports could have athletes and gentlemen like Mira, the World would be a better place. He will be missed more than current generations will ever understand. He will never be honored in Cooperstown, Daytona or in Canton, but he will forever be remembered in the hearts of those hundreds of thousands who crowded the shoreline in Seattle, Detroit, and other venues in the sport we still follow with interest and excitement.</p>
<p>He is still my hero.</p>

What an incredible life. He lived life to the fullest. The life he had was the American success story that you just love to hear. I am sure he will be missed a true champion both on the water and off.

<p>He was a honest man with a pure heart. He always gave me a cordial and sincere advice. His family in SLOVAKIA will always missed him. He visited us /his family / in Slovakia only a few times, but our house was always full of joy and laughter when Mira was here. What a shame to lose him. R.I.P.my friend, my uncle.</p>

<p>A true mans man and a remarkable human being. He always treated everyone with caring and kindness.</p>
<p>I am so proud that I got hte chance to see him pull away from the docks at Seafair under the Sun and take the Miss Wahoo out one last time. It seemed like two old friends were reunited that day as Mira fired the boat like he had so many times in the past and patted the deck of the Miss Wahoo as he pulled away as if to say thank you old friend now lets go give them a show.</p>
