August 1975

It was with great sadness that I found that Michael has left us ...... but he is off to a better place where he is among so very many who loved him. He must have gotten a promotion - he used to be called "Captain C". Michael loved so many sports - participating in them! Does everyone remember how much he loved fishing, skiing, water sports of all kinds? So many wonderful memories. And sitting at the top of Candlestick Park on the 50 yard line for the 9'ers!

In the meantime, get things set up for "the big one" and we'll have a brew and go roll a few. I love you man, you were an original.

Rest in Peace Mike. You always had a smile on your face and a good joke for me. It was wonderful working with you.

Great Times with Son-In-Law

To my buddy ‘Mon Colonel'… I will miss you, my friend. I will always remember “Herb & The Herbettes”, your rich tenor, “Amazing Grace”, “Under the Boardwalk”… and that wicked slice. This Bud's for you. When we're in SF this year, you will be sorely missed and you will be remembered often. Look after the Colonel, Lord… a sweeter man never existed. Love, Junell
