I Bet Mike never knew he was this well like and loved or respected. A very humble man.

Though we lost touch over the years, I'll always remember Mike's (and Vickie's) friendship when I lived in Modesto, CA. Fun, and open, Mike was so talented too. Thanks for the memories Mike, rest in peace

Mike, It was wonderful having you as part of our family. You always were very warm and caring with us and enjoyed our music. You were a trooper throughout your illness like no other could do. We will miss you forever. Vickie, Don't forget we love you too, and we are here for you. Lovingly, Delia and Glen

May loving angels surround you with peace & serenity, dear Cousin Mike.
I'll never forget the paella we shared (Summer 1981 or '82?) You, dear Victoria, Steve & I'm pretty sure Russ & Nance were there.
And Christmas at John & Mary's house was great!
Victoria, Russ, Nance: loving hugs & peace to you, sweet peeps. *Take care*

What can you say about such a great friend? Never forget working at the marina, getting some pitchers at Hinano, then going back and running the boat hoist. Reef down that boat! Poker games, camping trips, hanging out on Loytan avenue. Glad I got to see you before you left us--love ya, man!
