A Life of Tribute to Possibilities

Recently, I came across a photograph and sketch of Michael Doyle on Flickr — an Internet photo sharing site -- posted by Dave Gray. From what I can gather, Dave took the photo and drew the sketch at a 2006 gathering of the Meshforum in San Francisco. In the photo, Michael was holding a card on which he had drawn the word “Stories.” Beneath the photo, Dave wrote a brief bio of Michael. It began...

Dear Juli & Michael

I was blessed to have Michael so involved in my life and to be part of our great family. My fondest memories are my times playing baseball with Michael when I was a young boy in Cincinnati! He was my hero and role model - bigger than life with a smile and heart to match! It was always a great occasion at the McGoffs when Cousin Michael was with us.

I especially loved the time I shared with Michael during visits with him in North Beach during his early...

Juli and Friends of Mikey,
After all this time, I'm still in shock when I think of life without Michael in my life. He was one of my best friends since 1972, when I was Interaction’s first business client. We spent years together on many adventures, women, clients, and travels. He was my Best Man at my wedding, and he found you finally to help make his life complete, although “complete” doesn’t seem appropriate for Michael. There was always a searching need in Michael for new things to...

Dear Michael and Juli,

So many people for such long and short times loved Michael dearly. He touched people throughout his travels in time and space.

He lovingly supported everyone I know who knew him. One of his many goals was to help EVERYONE become successful by encouraging us to be all that we can be AND BEYOND.

I love you Michael and will ALWAYS miss hearing your warm voice and seeing your sincere loving smile.

I will miss your support.

To Juli...my...

It was shocking to learn of Michael's death just days after I last saw him at the SF Bay Club, where we shared a common goal of getting our aging bodies back into shape after some serious medical setbacks. As always, Scuby had a big smile on his face, was so friendly, and was so engaged with the person he was with.

My friendship with Mike began at the University of Cincinnati and continued during our time in San Francisco. He graduated with an Architecture degree, and always referred...

Michael and I worked together for so long and so closely, I know the ground breaking leader he was in our profession and what a difference he made in the lives of individuals, organizations, and yes-- even countries. His creativity knew no boundaries, his energy was so uplifting, and his view of what was possible in our world was truly Visionary. I will miss Michael deeply, but whenever I think of him (which will be often)I know I will smile

Great is an appropriate adjective for Mike, as in friend, fraternity brother & fraternity president. How fun and memorable was he? Always smiling, never down. Bet Scuby is having fun in heaven too.
