I just read Michael's obituary online, Julie. My sincere condolences. You and I graduated together from Mumford High School in 1967. Although my husband and I attended our 50th reunion, I missed seeing you. I heard you were also there. Take good care of yourself.

I dont know where to begin. I worked for Michael for 16 years. Closed shopped with him. He taught me so much. He was a force to be reckoned with. UGET0! And that was often the case. Rest well, Boss! Rest well, Sparky! Thanks for being a part of my life! Love to Julie, Rachel, and Josh.

I don't know where to begin. I worked for Michael for nearly 16 years. He was a force to be reckoned with. Taught me so much. A wonderful family loving man. A charismatic man! He will be missed by many...including me! Rest well, Sparky!
