Not sure what to say?

We will always remember the sweet story told by Mike at Don Cacace's memorial about how thrilled he was as a preteen beening "allowed" to wash Don's Malibu and then driving it the 40' from his driveway across the street into ours.
We know that they are in heaven joy riding in style. With love and sympathy, the Cacace family

We will greatly miss Mike on his beloved Delta waterways, at our Chamber functions, and the boating events he often attended. Mike was a great guy, very funny, and always had a refreshing perspective on issues. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing.

Sorry to hear this. Mike and his Acura.. Aways driving like a speed racer.. :)
He will be missed, but always remembered!!!
..rest in peace now..

Mike,
You were truely a Signa Nu who....
Believed in the Life of Love,
Walked in the Way of Honor,
And served your family & friends in the Light of Truth.
Until we meet again, Old Friend.

I was saddened to hear about Mike's illness and death. I have fond memories of Mike's sense of humor, sense of responsibility and his sense of caring about others throughout our college years at Chico. There was no one else quite like him! My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Mike was one of the first business owners to befriend me when I first started working in the Delta three years ago. In what can be a fairly tight-knit community, Mike went out of his way to include me in activites when I would see him at conferences and events. I will miss his perpetual smile and his positive attitude.

We considered Mike a great friend and will truly miss him. Boat shows will not be the same without him. Every time we spoke, we found out how much more we had in common (my mom's family is all from Santa Cruz, Mike went to school with my mom, Mike's dad was my great grandparents' eye doctor, fellow Chico grads, my husband and Mike loved to car talk (Mike has been involved with our research on car purchases and tire purchases and supplied much great knowledge), his general love for boating...

So long, good buddy. It was my pleasure.

I am so saddened by the sudden death of a great friend and nearly family member. I remember going to Lake Shasta every year with Mike when I was younger. Waking up to him cooking breakfast way too early and then going out for a morning ski... he will be missed
