Not sure what to say?

Mike was with Gary on 6/18/69 cruising down Broadway when we met. Remembering the good times ... and they were all good times ... today 3/4/24.

mr browning was my first teacher when i moved to oregon. we moved to westridge elementary after being at a catholic school before. my twin sister and i were scared to start a new school as 5th graders. i was lucky enough to get mr browning as my teacher. he made me feel so special and was always making his students laugh. having fun at school was an important part of learning he would say. i had the priveledge of seeing mr b again at oak creek when i worked there. his familiar face was such...

Mr. B, you will be missed! You were such a fun teacher with a great sense of humor. I still crack up at the silly face you made on picture day that represents you perfectly on my class picture. I loved 4th grade thanks to you!

My belated sympathy to all his family. I knew Mike from the "vintage volkswagen" forums he was active on. Truly a great guy and he will be sorely missed.

I just wanted to add my sympathy to Carolyn and her daughters to the let you know that I am sad to hear about Mike's untimely death. I taught with Mike at Bryant many years ago and can still remember the project we did in fifth grade showing the students how production of a product depended on so many people in the production line. Mike, Joann and I spent 3 days setting up that model and spent 3 days laughing while the kids were learning that we depended on each other for the best. Mike...

I taught with Mike at Bryant...in fact, he hired me! I'll always remember his dry sense of humor and beautiful handwriting. My condolences to his family.

Mike was my 4th grade teacher at Bryant and I remember him well to this day. No other teacher touched my life the way Mike did. We worked on computers together and established a friendship that lasted many years beyond elementary school. It was his mentorship that fostered my interest in computers which eventually led to my current position as a IT Development manager at US Bank.
I owe Mike a lot, not only for my education and for making school fun, but also for all the wonderful...

I taught with Mike years ago and will never forget the sense of humor he brought to the table. The world just lost a great human being. I know how devoted he was to his wife and family, when he spoke of you Carolyn, Sally and Becky, his face would light up. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I had only met Mike a few times but spoke to him online many times. He was a great guy who was always ready to help someone out. He will be missed.
