Not sure what to say?

Michael was my Dads, Grant Preece cousinwho was Harold and Thelma´s nephew. Harold´s Father was Minor Grant Preece from Utah. Harold was one of Six boys . I met Thelma several times, but it was after Harold and Mikes sister were killed in an auto accident. I´m 82 so I vaguely remember Mike, but heard so many great things about he and Jon-Michael. My condolences to you and your family. God Bless and my prayers go with you!

Having never met Michael, My Father Grant Preece, Nephew of Thelma and Harold talked about Thelma a great deal. i am 82 so at the time Michael was still a young boy at the time. To the best of my knowledge all the Preece Cousins have passed. Praying for your family at this difficult time.

As the president of falconcrest.org, I had the pleasure to interview Michael for our website, which is the ultimate resource to Lorimar's hit drama "Falcon Crest". Michael directed ten episodes of the show and, in one 1985 episode, even played a henchman by the name Arnold.

Mike Preece. Rest in peace Worked together in the show Dallas. We became friends during that time Condolences to all the family. Just heard of his passing. He will be missed

Michael was a member of the retired Greyhound community. He did home visits prior to placing dogs in homes, which is how we met. Years later, we "babysat" 2 of his dogs during the Malibu fires. I think we included pictures of those dogs in one of our annual calendars. We later discovered that we may have met in the 80s when he was directing Dallas - I was staying at the same hotel where the cast and crew were staying during filming. He is missed.
