Not sure what to say?

Michael and Jennifer were friends; we shared good food, wine, talk and laughs at each other's houses. I wish his family and friends the joy that he brought to his life.

I enjoyed many nights under the stars with Michael. And a few other nights where he was showing me where the tasty beers in town are made. I think I even had the opportunity to bicycle into downtown with him a couple of times one summer when I lost my mind. Michael was very much loved by those around him, no matter the environment.

Michael (and Jennifer) were 20+ years good neighbors.

I was your dear wife Jen´s pen pal from the age of 11, she visited Liverpool twice and we had an amazing time. We wrote to each other for 53 years! Shared our secrets, family ups and downs it was a privilege to have known her. Sadly Michael, we never met, but I know Jen adored you and I take consolation from the fact that you are together again. Good night and God Bless to a very special gentleman

Hi, Michael was a friend for 20+ years through the Portland Linux/Unix Group and the Personal Telco Project. If you need help sorting out his computer/network stuff, please get in touch. I helped set some of it up.
