I worked with Joyce many years ago and had the privilege of knowing Mike through Joyce. My deepest sympathies to Joyce and the family.

Working with Mr. D. (was it 5 or 6 years??)made coming to work a pleasure. This pleasure was heightened almost daily with visits from Joyce. Joyce, I'm truly saddened. I could not attend Mike's services as my Mother passed 11/2, but remembered all his day
the laughter, compassion and his great intelligence. Love to you, Mike.

Very special tributes to a precious man most worthy. He left behind a legacy and a wonderful, proud family. Bless you all. My father, Jim Pereira, is now with me and we extend our love and prayers to all of you. Take good care.

I worked with Mike at Oasis Community School... I miss him. I learned so much about the history of the school from him. He was always my reality check.

I met Mike in 1989, when i started teaching at Live Oak. Mike was a great mentor, generously sharing his unique knowledge about our student population.
I still teach at Oasis Community School (the new name for Live Oak) and sorely miss his humor and wisdom. I have lost a very good friend who will be missed by all the staff at our school.
