Yvonne,
I never met you, but Mike sure talked a lot about you and how happy he was to have found you.
I was one of his golf students at Boundary Oak for several years. He was a great teacher...but, mostly, I remember what a truly nice guy he was and how FUNNY he could be! I mostly hooked up with him at the golf course so we could trade jokes.
I knew he had fought health battles over the years, but he never felt sorry for himself.
We moved to Oregon in early 2006, so I lost touch with Mike. But, I'll always remember him fondly.

To Mike's Wife, Yvonne,
It was a pleasure to know Mike. It was me who gave him that Flat Top! We talked about many things as I cut his hair, gardening, (Thank You for the specially wrapped squash blossoms!) travel, (He was so excited to go to Italy!) and you. I was so surprised and sad when I read of his passing. I am glad to have known him. My best thoughts are with you. Sue Ericsson - Supercuts

All of our hearts were saddened by the news of Michael's passing. It is very clear though that Michael did NOT lose the battle to cancer. His courage and his life in general were a profound demonstration of how one can win over this horrible disease. He will live in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Yvonne,
Jay and I were both so saddened by the news that Michael succumbed to cancer on November 24th. We had always hoped that you and Michael would one day get out to Australia for some good fishing. He was such a sweet and polite man. We love you Yvonne and God bless you with the strength you need right now. Love and kisses, Jay, Jo, Mycah, Jory and Talt. xoxoxox

Mrs. Jordon:
I learned of Mike's passing upon my return from Arizona. He will be deeply missed by many of the people who came to know him on their weekly or daily visits to Boundary Oaks. Mike was very well liked and I always enjoyed his candor and unique sense of humor. My condolences to you and to his family.
