Not sure what to say?

Mike was a friend when we both worked for SP in San Francisco and later in Los Angeles, CA. I am shocked to learn of his passing,. We had fun together, he was a great fellow. My deepest Sympathy to his family, May he rest in peace.

I have fond memories of Mike at Santa Clara University. Playing golf with him one day ( which we did occassionally between "study time"), I was able to beat him on the last hole at Spring Valley golf course - by running in a 30 foot put in the dark, while Mike held his cigarette lighter over the hole. Had some wonderful visits to Woodland during SCU days also. With Mike, you could never feel down-life was an adventure. God bless him!

I really enjoyed meeting up with Mike nearly 40 years after graduating together from Santa Clara. He had a lot of great stories to tell. May he rest in peace.

I went to SCU with Mike. He was a terrific person with a great laugh.

What an individual. I've known Mike since our days at SCU, lost touch for many years and then became reacquainted about 10 years ago at a reunion. Since then talked to him frequently both in the US and Asia about his inventions. He will be missed.

So sad to hear of Mike's passing. I was a classmate('65)with Mike at Santa Clara. We will give him a toast at a quarterly lunch in S.F. next week.......Mike frequently came to these events to "catch up".
He was a character and we will miss him.
