I think of you often MIke, and the fun and camaraderie we shared - extraordinary considering how different we were. As the saying goes - you were a gentleman and a scholar - a very high tribute indeed. And very nice to me. God Bless, and peace to your family.

Mike and I want grade school, high school and UCLA at approxmatly the same time. My collage career was interrupted ny a U S Army period. Talked a few times in later years and though I split my time in Las Vegas and Orange County in the real estate development world. Often thought of Ike and our fun days as young kids. Liived directly across the street on Spaulding in B H during those formative had little reason th visit B H in my business world but often thought about doing same in later years.
Recently looked up Mike to see he had passed. Nice guy and left the world too soon.

Dear Carol :

Both Meng and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Inman. We last met in January 2006 and had lunch at Spago. Mike was one of a kind. We had many fond memories of him. He was funny, witty and more than an attorney. He will be greatly missed.

May he rest in peace.

Our thoughts are with you.

This is quite late, as I just learned of MIke's passing, but Mike would fully appreciate this, since I was always late in arriving at the office, and I would hear tales of Mike bellowing out "Where's Jeffrey?!"

I will always fondly remember my time with Mike. On the outside, he presented a tall, stern, upright lawyer full of propriety. But with me, a relaxed, good natured, sweet, laughing big old bear.

We had some great times together on our exotic travels for clients, and to me he was always generous, gregarious, and extraordinarily forgiving of my many many foibles.

I have thought of him often over the years since I last worked with him, and I will miss him. My deepest sympathies to the family.

We had fun MIke. Can't ask for more than that. RIP.

I was sorry to learn of the passing of Mr. Inman. He always had a smile on his face and was very kind to me. He helped me in my upward mobility at INS. He was a great husband and father. He will be truly missed. May he rest in peace.
