Mike will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have him touch their lives. I have thought of him often and have fond memories of our brief time together at Restoration Hardware. You and the children were his pride and joy - I'm certain he will be watching over you all. My sincere condolences.

Even though I have known Mike for several years this past winter I had the privilege of spending much more time with him at the ski shop and at Winter Park, CO. At Winter Park, since it was so cold we spent a lot of time having coffee and just talking. He spent a lot of time talking about his wife and kids and I could tell he was a great family man. I realized what a good man he was and was looking forward to spending more time with him in the future. I will miss him and I know he will be greatly missed by others.
