Not sure what to say?

Mike was one of the most amazing people I ever knew, and was a great friend to my father. I remember him instilling in me a love of music (especially drums) that I carry with me to this day. Being a young drummer, I looked forward to my lessons every single Saturday. This world is a better place for having had him in it.

Mike, I just spoke with you early March and you were fine, what happened? Keep looking down on me and do what you can to guide me through life as you always did with your positive attitude. You will be missed. Love Vera

We were friends from the moment we met, and through a lot of adventures. I am proud to have had the eminent Doctor FlamingGoo as a friend, adopted brother (once you're adopted, you tend to adopt others), cheerleader, co-conspirator, and favorite drummer for almost 40 years, and will carry you in my heart until we're swapping lies together again.

Aloha Michael...you were a close friend and neighbor for many years and you always kept in touch even though I was many miles away. I will miss you and our late night conversations and laughs.

You became my best friend the day we met when our family moved in two houses down 61 years ago.We did alot of crazy stuff growing up. You were the only one that still called me Louie. I'm missing you already Mike and we'll run into each other again someday.
When I here thunder it'll be you banging on your drums like you used to in your garage back in the day.
Rest in Paradise buddy.

Mike caught that first wave along with a bunch of us fresh out of high school who pledged allegiance to rock and roll. We rode it like a magic carpet ride and for many of us it defined our lives. Mike was big in the mix and will really be missed. Rock on doctor Flamingo, Rest In Peace.

RIP Flamingo. We enjoyed a lot of life together: Jefferson Jets football; many gigs and roadtrips; many toasts and laughs.
I miss you.
Dan
