I am sorry to never have met Mike's family--my condolences to all of you. Mike and I were roommates at the Sigma Chi House--KSU and good friends. Only the miles and our preoccupations in our own lives kept us apart other than infrequent alumni gatherings. I have been missing his intense interest in just about everything and the great sense of humorous observations for which he had few peers. I hope the few things I sent his way as of late made it on time. My next missive was to be a dozen white roses, our fraternity's flower of remembrance. I'll see to it that he will be honored at our next KSU reunion's 60h frat' anniversary in 2025 (just missed being together at the 55th owing to the pandemic). Please feel free to contact me for any information about his college days and the abundant reservoir of testimonials I have for his person. Blessings to all of you.

Mike was a true and loyal Sigma Chi. I had the honor of meeting him at Kent State University in 1990. His smile was contagious and will be greatly missed.
