I regret that I was unable to attend Mike's service as I am presently out-of-state. I've known Mike since l966 when I joined the staff of AEA. He has always been a good friend and will be fondly remembered.

Mike was one of the finest persons we have known. We always remember collecting signatures for him to run for Supt. of Public Inst. in 122 degress weather in June. He leaves a legacy of good friends and a great family, which he was very proud of. He will be missed.
