It is with sadness that I advise of the passing last night of Ric Meagley (Mighty Mo), after a long battle with cancer. 

He truly loved working on and sharing his broad knowledge, as well promoting all flatfender Willys activities.

I met Ric and Mighty Mo at the spring reunion but I didn't quite make the connection of who he was till now. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.

So sorry to hear of Ric's passing.  I first met him at the Toledo reunion several years ago.  I'll always remember his passion to teach others the correct pronunciation of "Willys".

I will keep his family in my prayers.

  I never met him, but it's always sad when the jeep community loses another member.

  My condolences to his family.    Bruce

It is NOT a Jeep Willys! It is a Willys jeep.

Happy Trails! Good-bye, Good Luck, and May the Good Lord Take a Likin' to You!

Sorry to hear of his passing, when I first got my Willys his site was one of the first I came across. I'd talked with him a time or two, a very knowledgeable member of the Willys community.

I sure enjoyed several years of trail riding with Ric.  I will miss him. 

Thank you Rogan, for all you did for Ric.
