I miss your advice and good spirit, Michael

I wish for you all to find peace and serenity. Michael was certainly one of a kind and, while I haven´t seen him in many years, I will always remember him fondly. Love and peace to you all, Armand Circharo & Family.

We rented space on English Ave in the 90s when we opened our business and Michael occupied the adjoining office for his studio.!Carl and I regularly dropped in talking sports , art and a lot of politics ( for which thankfully, we mostly agreed) we kept in tough for many years and I last spoke with him hoping he would join us for Super Bowl .

I knew Michael for over 25 years, admired his work, enjoyed his kindness, and over the years,

RIP Michael as I rock in your chair remembering you.
