New Orleans, Louisiana
G. Lala passed away in New Orleans, Louisiana. The obituary was featured in The Times-Picayune on September 27, 2005.
The animals and local animal groups have lost a true friend. We all appreciate the "Cookery Meetings" which allowed us to meet each other. One more good man crosses the Rainbow Bridge, and we are less from his passing.

A friend, a colleague. New Orleans has lost another institution. There can never be another "G. Michael". My sympathies to his family.

Mr. Mike, it was truely an honor to work for you and with you. I know I beam with pride when I tell these people up here in Pennsylvania all the wonderful things you have done for the animals. Not a day goes by that my heart doesn't ache from missing you and Connie. I am so sorry for not being there to help you all.
The world has lost a wonderful person and you will be greatly missed.
With love and respect always,
Cheryl and Jimi

Local TV has lost one of the greats, and New Orleans has lost one of its best citizens. It was an honor for me to get to know Mike, a true broadcasting Hall of Famer. I have thought of him many times while "on the job" covering Katrina. He certainly saw the good and bad sides of New Orleans over his many years in the TV business, and later in the restaurant business, which he loved equally as much. He will be sorely missed. My best to Connie and his family.

Dear family and friends: I am a retired NBC News cameraman. When Mike worked as a cameraman with WDSU, I worked side by side with him many times during the "Civil Rights Days." He was an excellent cameraman. Later he opened his restaurant--it too was as his photography--excellent! He was a true friend and I will miss him.
