Michael A. Maglich

Just thinking of michael and giggling today

I knew and very much loved Michael in the 70's, when we had studios on Raymond in Pasadena. He loved playing my piano and I was entranced with his writing. He taught me about pia pico sauce on quesadillas; I once worked with his mom to create special dishes with drawings done by his son, Emory, who he loved so much and missed terribly. Once Michael fell injuring himself, and I drove him to the hospital. It all lasted for about a year, and then no more. I have never forgotten Michael and...

I remember him nearly every day. He still inspires me

Susan, Emory, & Family -

My thoughts go out to you.

The art world is diminished by the loss of an artist of Michael’s abilities. I would love to see a retrospective exhibit of Michael’s lifetime creations. This would be the only way to appreciate the broad spectrum of his art.

Michael,
Thank you for bringing so much fun, friendship, and......well, ART into our lives. I'll never forget how you bought one of your own works at an auction, where someone had bid over me, and then gave it to me! It's one of my favorite pieces. Your memory will always be with us through your artwork.

Hugs.... as you used to say,
Kate and Carl

It's with much sorrow that I write after your passing away, so early in your life. Your father, wife, sister and son miss you terribly. I think what I remember most was not your art work, but the time that we spent golfing, on occasion, and your sense of humor. You will be missed by all that have known you, Julie

I carry your heart...in my heart.
