Although we didn't keep in touch after I left John Helmer, I will always remember Mike for his warm smile and gift of story telling. He meant so much to so many. That's a nice legacy. I will plant a tree in his honor.

I am just now learning of Mike´s passing. I saw it in the Oregonian. Rachel, I am so sorry to hear of this, shocked in fact, because Michael is such a bigger than life person and it just does not seem the same to not have him as a strong presence here in Newberg. Again, I am so sorry and sad. I am thinking of you.
