Decided to look up Mike after many years. Served in the United States Marine corps together.We were very good friends and almost unseperable. His father visited us in Hawaii and I visited Petaluma on leave. Knew he was a wild man and was wondering about him a number of times. Looked him up and here I am. SEMPER FIDELIS and good luck in your new home and life.

Dear Mike and family... You were a mentor to me in my early years.. I just heard the news... My heart goes out to his wife and kids... I knew them all years ago and I know things changed for them all but never expected to hear of this. =( Mike will always be rememebered by me. It was because of his strength and success that I made it through my early 20's.. He was a "tough cookie" so to speak but he was always good to me. I'm so sad... No matter how hard life gets we mustn't give up hope....

I'm very very sad to hear of Mike's passing. He really was a deeply feeling person, and had a way of making people feel special . I haven't seen him since HS but I can still clearly see his sprint down the track ,his walk that was a true swagger , and his slight grin with those sparkly eyes .... Ruby, it sounds like he grew up to be a fine man and someone proud to call Dad ...There really is nothing greater to aspire for ... Wishing his family peace and love

Still can't believe it's happening. You're gone. My hero, my bestfriend, my everything. I love you more then words can express dad. And I visit this site almost everyday just because I miss you so much. You taught me everything I know.. I have so many built up emotions I can't begin to explain I want to break down all the time:( lately I'm constantly hyperventilating just trying to grasp this.. I know you don't like it when I cry but I can't help it, I need you to hug away the pain like you...

My opinions of how a boyfriend should treat a girl were formulated by the kind, respectful boy that I knew in 8th-9th grade. By the time we were in our early 20's, I lost track of Michael but I can only imagine what a loving and doting father and husband he must have been. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family. He was taken too soon.

So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I have so many great memories of him in high school and fun times riding the bus to PHS swim meets. I always looked up to him. Rest in peace friend.
