Mike and I worked together at Lifetime Television during the early `90´s. We became friends immediately. Great memories of "skipping" work to grab the subway to Yankee Stadium to see the Yanks vs Sox. I would beg him to not wear his Bosox cap but he would just smile and say "relax you big galoot." We also road tripped together many times. Memphis, Las Vegas, New Orleans to name a few. We made stops at places like Graceland, Sun Records, Hemingway´s house and The Redwood forest. And, if he...

I first met Mike in first grade at the old Hillside School and remained lifelong friends since.
We shared a mutual appreciation of movies, music and sports and attended many films, concerts and sporting events through the years.
Mike was a smart, creative and funny guy as well as a talented, artist, musician, and writer.
You will be missed my friend. Rest easy.
