Dear Rita, Melina and Orion,

Words can not express my sadness over Michael's passing and sorrow for your loss. Although time & distance has separated us our friendship still remained. I will always remember Michael as a friend , passionate for knowledge and true love. I'm glad he found both through his work and with his family, I could see that in the photos he sent me. If you or your children ever visit Maine or are in the vicinity I would love to meet and meet him again through...

I just learned of your loss and want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and to express my deepest sympathies. I remember you introducing Mike to me when I ran into you at the old Smith's grocery store in El Paso back in the early 90's. Though we spoke for but a minute, I walked away with the impression of a man who was smart, confident, and very, very happy. May God Bless you and your beautiful children Linda.

I met Mike over 15 years ago when he visited as a consultant to teach me about the nutritional requirements of bioremediation systems. He came highly recommended as a bioremediation expert so I had preconceived that he would be pretentious. During our first meeting, I knew he was different. Being a consultant, I had expected Mike to come in having all of the answers or at least pretending to. Instead, he was asking me questions and guiding me to - what I found out later – find the...

Rita and Family-

I was saddened to learn of this just today (January 9th) upon my return from vacation. Please accept my condolences. Mike was my roommate for some of his Woodward-Clyde days in the Oakland hills (about 1988 and 1989). I played a lot of Basket Ball with him during our Woodward-Clyde days. Mike had a real zest for life and enjoyed so much his work, learning and having fun with others. It was great to hear of his family and life in Colorado. God Bless you and...

Rita & family,

Pat Longo McDonough told me of your loss. Though you don't know me, my deepest sympathies are with you and your family during this time of grief. I was part of the Schalmont crowd that hung together & though we all went our separate ways, somehow we all stayed connected & knew what each other was doing.

I will fondly remember Mike as a sympathetic friend, good listener, & generally nice guy. He always had a smile on his face & made sure others followed...

Dear Rita and family:

Michael was so loved by so many people. Reading through the entries on this guest book is truly a testament to what a special, kind, loving person Michael was.

I came across a letter today that Mike sent me back in 1999 when our dear friend Dave P. passed away, Mike wrote: "I truly believe our life spirit moves on and doesn't end with our deaths on this planet." Mike also said "I'm half Irish so I believe it is important to celebrate a person's...
