Michael
I will never forget the first time we met. You were so dang cute and funny! I just had to get to know you. I am so glad I did! You had the biggest heart. Whenever someone needed help you were always there to lend a hand. You were a great listener and you had the biggest shoulder to cry on. You also had excellent taste in music and loved to cruise in your car with the music blastin. You were fun! I remember all the times you would pop by my work just to say hi. And your wonderful smile would make me smile. I really missed that when I moved away. Every time I wax my car with Meguiars I think of you.... Michael I can see you now smiling down from heaven. Rest in peace.

Many years ago, Mick stopped in on his weekly sales visit to the body shop I worked at, and on his feet was a pair of snappy Italian style shoes, checkered, black+white, with fringe...so I commented, nice shoes, Mick and laughed..he replied " what, you wouldn't wear shoes like these?{" My reply was, that the only way I would wear shoes like those, was if he bought em for me...the next day I went to work and on my tool box was a brand new pair of identical shoes in my size...I wore them everywhere for years,and every time someone made a comment about my shoes, I told them how I got them, the shoes finally wore out, but the memory never will...thanks Mick for the friendship and the shoes...you were a true gentleman..

In this world, some of us are blessed to find others with whom we can speak the same "language" with far more than words. What a blessing it was to know him, to love him; he was an amazing man. Michael was a throwback to a generation of gentlemen with character, honesty, communication and compassionate love. He was an old time craftsman, a teacher, and an artist. Heaven is a better place having welcomed him into Its arms. You're finally Home, my dear. Much love, Karen

My best thoughts of Mick will always be with me everytime I pick up a piece of wet sandpaper and try finish one of my less than perfect paint jobs. He gave me the best advice when it comes to quality in what you do, and how you live your life. "Have patience Ken, I know you can do it." Thanks Mick for sharing that with me. You will be missed by all who knew you.
