Mike was one of the first people I met when I arrived in Stockton (Late August 1975). I had only been in Stockton for a few hours and had met Mike at the Dean's BBQ. Mike was not only a friend but a mentor. His advice and direction helped shape my life and career. I will miss him. God bless you Michael.

I was really sorry to hear about Mike. I remember him well going to school in Lodi. He was a wonderful person liked by all. I was surprised to see him at UOP in the 70's when I took some classes there. I always looked for him at the class reuions but unfortunately never saw him again.
My deepest sympathy to the family.

I was surprised to run into him at some classes I took at UOP in the 70's. I was always looking to see him at the class reunions and wondered if he was still at UOP.
Sincerely,
Larry Hildenbrand

Dear Michael: I shall miss you...We grew up together and Pent many months together as I tried to beat you at Ping pong, HORSE.( Basket Ball game) and several other games. You played Clarinet better than me which ment I was always second chair. I know you made me a better musician because you raised the bar. Something I think you enjoyed doing.
June: my prayers are with you... Mike was one of my best friends when I grew up and I missed not seeing him after we graduated from highschool. I tried to follow his career but life got in the way. Our meeting will have to wait until later.
