I will always treasure the friendship the four of us shared during the boating years! It makes me so sad to know that the big C took another wonderful husband from another wonderful wife. You will be missed. Prayers for Susan. Hope you and Paul find a really great boat to captain in heaven!

We are both remembering our days working with Mike at both HDS and Fujitsu....always that smile that could light up a room...unwavering optimism. Our thoughts are with Susan and the extended Klinger Family. Diane Taggart & Bill King

So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Although I don't think I ever met him I know he must have been a wonderful man and husband by the way you spoke of him, Susan. My heartfelt prayers for you at this difficult time.
