What an interesting guy! I'm sorry I never met him. He's been everything I wanted to be: a musician, racer. I only visit my home town of Vacaville about once a year. A few times, it's been at Christmas. I always remember Santa Claus in the little sports car at the Cherry Pit!

Cherry family. Our prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. My sister and I used his gas stations whenever we needed gas and stuff. Always a nice guy and that big smile. Always enjoyed his music! May all your beautiful memories grant you peace! God bless you all.

Mike was a dear long time friend to both my husband and myself....He encouraged me not to be afraid of marriage and trying new things...He was smart and fair and questioned everything! He was on his toes. I loved him and I look up to Cathy for being always there for him and her family. loosing people you love is hard....he is still a bright star for everyone. Gayla Jo
