So many weekends spent in the same building doing what we all loved to do. In the end, it was far more about the friendships than anything else. Thank you Mike for being part of our lives. Thank you to Mike's family for granting us that privilege.

Until we all meet again.....

RC racing will never be the same without my friend Mike. Over the past 5 years the first step was checking with Mike if we were racing the coming weekend. Mike, you were so much more than RC for so many. Husband, father, Grandfather & friend. You were multi talented and Loved by many. You always had time for friends especially if it involved RC cars. I learned so much from you and will miss you. Very glad for the time we had.

RC will never be the same. Over the pass 5 years most of my racing was with Mike. He was gifted with his hands. The woodworking or painting RC bodies or assembling RC cars. Mike, was always willing to help no matter who it was. Those that didn't know him well would never know what a great sense of humor he had. I am very greatfull for the time I had with my friend.

I met Mike through R/C car racing. I remember the fun we use to have when we would race and Marguerite and Silvia would go out and get back just in time to go home. Mike will be missed!

June 14, 2017

I raced RC cars with Mike for many years and it wasn't just about the racing, it was also about getting to hang out with some great people. Mike was at the top of that list of great people. We shared many ideas, stories and laughs over the years. Mike will be severely missed by many in his racing family.
