Not sure what to say?

I was just thinking about Mike the other day. Beautiful wife and family left behind. Our wagon train hero. Hugs to family

Thank you for your 30 year service with the CHP. YOUR a true hero!

Hey Mike! Will always remember you and your thoughtful wife, Nancy, for supporting me during my June 15,1984, Modesto CHP Area critical incident shooting, especially her supporting newspaper letter to the editor Modesto Bee while I was convalescing from serious wounds at home. I still have the article here. Thank you for being True Blue and a genuine, caring brother Officer. God Bless.

Such a great person. You will be missed

Mike is a huge loss to so many people. I was part of the wagon train adventures over the Sonora Pass, he called me Rosebud (my wagon train name) long after the train had ended.
Mike was so proud of his family, and especially his bride Nancy. An outstanding human being I was proud to call my friend.
