I was so sorry to hear of Mike's passing so suddenly. I have known Mike since we were students at Springbrook High School. I'll always remember the fun fall weekend the group of us had at Charlie's family's place in Rehobeth Beach. You will be missed so much, Mike, by all of your friends. God Bless You and Charlie.

For my dear friend Mike. Professional colleague, traveling companion, fellow home-brewer, passionate lover of photography. We shared many adventures together over the last 35 years. He will live on in my heart and memories.

Mike gave me my first job out of college - on a Friday afternoon, over the phone. Always grateful to him for giving me a shot.
