Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

So very sorry to hear that Mike passed away. Always enjoyed stopping at the store and talking with him about guitars, music and finding out we both owned '67 Alpine Sunbeams in our younger days. I've purchased many guitars from Mike over the years. Each one will remind me of when I stopped at the store and Mike would say "Hey Don, I've got a guitar you might be interested in." And of course I'd buy it or get a new amplifier, strings, picks, tuners. I will miss those times. To Mike's family...

My sincere condolences goes out to Mikes family and his loved ones. I most certainly will miss stopping by the store on many occasions over the years and having nice talks with Mike. He was a great guy that I really enjoyed spending time at the store with.. I really will miss you my friend and Rest In Peace ☮, Tom McCartney

We are so grateful to have known Mike. I got my first ukulele from him and credit him with my love for the instrument. We loved going to the store, he was always so helpful and supportive. We are sending his family all our love and prayers.

You have my sincere condolences during this difficult time. My mom (Ruth Nabors) and his mom grew up together. After they had families we would play together when our mom's would get together. I got to hear Mikes music when he literally just started playing. He was a great guy. You have my deepest sympathy.

So sorry for your loss. Mike was an excellent neighbor and we will miss him. We enjoyed talking to him and our dog Baxter will miss Gigi. Mikes roses were absolutely beautiful and he always took such pride in his home. So surprised of his passing. Prayers to all.

Mike,
You were the best cheerleader in the Music Industry I've ever known. Thank you for serving the community with the best gift ever - music.
I'll miss your friendship. And Ginger. And the jams we had in your store. And how special was the night you served us with strawberry pie w/whipped cream?
Heaven gained an angel.
Thank you, my friend.
Go rest high on that mountain.

Mike, you were, and always will be, my friend, my best man at my wedding, and my brother. For over 50 years, we kept in touch and visited. I went to Ohio and Texas and you came out here to Colorado where we hiked to the mountain streams and lakes that we both loved so much. We were always fly rod in hand searching for that next beautiful trout. As we looked over at each other with a nod and a smile, we would catch and release that trout and prepare to catch the next one. As we laughed...

Gonna miss you ol' buddy. Met Mike in 7th grade at Sill Jr. High. I'm glad he had a local music shop because I would stop in and BS with him about old times and old friends. Rock on my friend.
