Wanted to let Michael's family know what a joy it was having Michael as my booker and getting to work with him over the years. He was a light in everybody's day and the most welcoming and friendly personality you could hope to encounter. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this note. Anyone who had the privilege of knowing Michael O. will never forget him. What an accomplishment! His love and caring for so many people lives on. We both had a life experience in common, at different times in our lives and in different places. He gave me words of wisdom when I left, stayed in touch when I was gone... and was there when I returned home. Until we meet again...my fellow Veteran.
