Dear Sandi and family,

Mike was the principal when my two boys, Nate and Jackson were at Hidden Valley. Those were very special years and I feel eternally grateful for Mike's extraordinary spirit to gently guide the children and us parents thru some very memorable years. I was amazed at Mike's willingness to do crazy things, like dress as a chocolate kiss for the student rallies to promote a program or even a fundraiser at the school. His selflessness and confidence will be what I...

Mike will be missed by each person's life he touched. Such a very special man. Grieving for his dear family.

I have so many wonderful memories of Mike~ Years at Hidden Valley School, walking my dog past the house and seeing Mike playing soccer with Jesse, knowing that if the garage was open there was a good chance Mike would be there working on one of his treasured bikes (especially the one with the beautiful leather seat). He built the first "neighborhood tiny library" on the street and was so very proud of the time spent with Dylan in "Dylan's garden." His travel logs (with those photos from...

Mike, I meet you 50 years ago working at Santa Rosa City Schools and you were as kind to me and others then as you were when we met again in 2006 through the Santa Rosa Cycling Club. Your contagious smile and genorsity of heart remained
the same through the years as continued to be a model for me as to how to treat others. You were and always will remain any inspiration. Thank you for being you. Carole Kolnes

Godspeed Mr. McGuire ! You were our 3 sons
principal at Hidden Valley Elementary School,
special years of our lives. Michael and I enjoyed seeing you in the neighborhood running, smiling and happy. God bless your
lovely family! You can stop running now, you're there! Much Love, The Rosselli's

Mr. McGuire was principle for the entirety of my years at Hidden Valley Elementary. I remember him showing up on his motorcycle, and always having a smile on his face! Sending my love to the family.

I did not know Mike well, but from the time I did talk to him at SRCC events it was clear he was the guy I wanted to model myself after. His smile and supportive assurances will be missed by many. Rest in peace my friend.

Mike was a great human being. I got to know Mike best over the last 10 years at the McGuire Run every November and at the Saturday morning runs followed by coffee. Mike was always a great listener and cared deeply about people. His love and dedication to running was always apparent. I will surely miss this great man!
