As Mike's little brother I can tell everyone he was tough on both Dave and myself but everyone in the family knew he would come to your rescue at
a drop of a dime. I still think of him daily and ask myself what would Mike tell me and I feel at piece. Love you brother Rick

To those of you who have kept the guest book going - thank you very much. I too think of Mike all the time. I think of his laugh, his red hair and 'stache when I see one similar, of when I move things in my house - of the help he had been on other moves; when I just started my new job and meeting "their Mike" (I got Mike started in the legal field .. one of my best ideas), and I miss him. As this sad anniversary approaches ... I hope you are watching out for all those of us who miss and love you still. And a thank you for being in my life ... I was truly blessed for having known you.

It has been a year today. Still so very hard to believe you are gone. We all miss you so very much. You are the one that always looked out for me and I wish someone would've been looking out for you on this day last year!!! I thank you so very much for all you ever did for me! I miss you even more!
I love you Mike!!! You were my guardian angel here on earth and I like to believe that you still are up in heaven!

All I Remember…
By: Tori Einstein
All I remember…
Is standing there watching
as I walked down the aisle in my little dress hopping.
My dad’s wedding! How exciting!
But who would know
as I glanced at my uncle
that that would be one of my last chances
to sit there and chuckle
All I remember…
Is eating those chicken wings.
Everyone staring as I made such a scene.
Sauce all over! What a surprise
But my uncle didn’t care
as he watched me with that twinkle in his eyes
The Sugar Shack is where we met.
We ate, drank and watched as people smoked a cigarette.
It was the best hang out there ever could be,
cause it was a chance to just be my uncle and me.
All I remember….
Is when we went to the gym.
The goal when you get there
is to work to be trim.
I looked on as my dad and uncle
were wrapping their knees,
round, and round with such great ease.
All ready to lift that weight,
uncle Mike just looked so great.
All these great memories
I keep in my heart
But I won’t have anymore
Cause we’ve been torn apart
Now I look back
And all I can see
Is the angel around me
And I know it is he.
This poem is dedicated to my Uncle Mike. I'll never forget you and always remember you in my heart.
My luv always and forever,
Tori

Mike:
The 10 months we worked together taught me more about the Chicago sports teams (especially the White Sox) than when I lived there for 40 years. My son, who still lives in Chicago and is an avid White Sox fan, would call me with a sports question for "Mike". He always received the correct answer. I just found out last night that you've left us and when I called my son this morning, he was at Comiskey Park watching the Sox play today. I asked him to say a little prayer for you while at the game. I thought nothing could be more appropriate. You were truly one of the nicest people I've known. God bless and keep you.

Mike, you became one of my best friends over the last few years and I will miss that friendship. I will miss your phone calls about softball. I know how much you loved playing. You were and still are the heart and soul of our team. It won't be the same without you. Maybe one of these seasons we'll finally win that championship for you. I will miss our sports and politics talks after the games at the Shack. I will miss your coaching at the meets. You taught me a lot my friend and for that I will be forever thankful. Rest in peace my friend and Thor brother, you will always be with me.

Mikey,
I will truly miss our friendship of thirty years, all our conversations about lifting, politics, history, dogs, and music (ELVIS). I will never forget all the special times we had at ASU football games over the years. It will not be the same without you, Mikey. But, even though you won't be next to me at the games, you'll always be there in my heart. Go Devils!
Love you,
Cal

Mike ~
Thank you for your smile, your humor, and for all the kindness you have shown me over the past four years. You always knew exactly what to say to cheer me up ~ I could always count on that. Thank you for being a part of my life. I will miss you, but we'll talk again soon.

I wish I could take it all back. I will never forget your "it's ok" look you gave to me. I am forever sorry. You are my hero. I will miss your laughter and the smiles you brought to my children's faces. They love their Uncle Mike. You live in our hearts and we will never forget you. Rest in peace Mike. I love you.

Michael, I wish I would have taken a couple of extra minutes that last Friday just to talk. I wish you were here to tell you that Cole scored 3 touchdowns at Saturday's game. I wish you would walk by, hit my door and scare the tar out of me. I wish I could see you smerk and rub your chin. I wish you were here. . . Love Page

I knew Michael from the RWR law firm. I have been away from the firm for two years now but every time I would see anything related to John Wayne, Mike was who I thought of. Mike, you were taken too soon. You will be missed by many. Even though you gave many a hard time, we always knew you were a softie at heart.

I have known you for almost 3/4 of my life. You are a part of who I am today and I thank you. I will miss the worlds greatest smile and the twinkle in your eyes. I will always cherish the memories. The world was a better place with you in it. My deepest condolences to your family.

We met Mike and Rich more than 22 years ago, and have had many laughs, debates, and fun over the years. Mike and I worked together for a time and he found another passion. I admired him for his strength in so many ways. His sweetness of thought and his convictions of opinion. His loyalty to his friends, and his unwavering love for his family. His complete enjoyment of life. And that grin - that mischievious, boyish, reassuring grin that I will take with me forever. I am sad that after a few months or more that I can't touch base with him over life's issues and personal events but now I can talk to him anytime. Thanks for being my friend, my friend. To his family, my deepest condolences. This was a great loss. I hope you take comfort in knowing the good Man Mike was and the friendships he embraced and kept over the years. For that, I thank you for sharing him with us.

Your straight forward, no nonsense views will be sorely missed, Mike. In your absence, I realize that I used to be able to set my watch to your 3pm coffee stroll past my office each day, usually followed by a loud bang on Page's door. You touched the lives of so very many people, you will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace.

I'm feeling sorry for myself to have lost such a good friend - but I feel worse for your family, Mike - and the world as a whole. From meeting at Thorbecke's in 1979 to working with you at Padre Murphy's on 3/17/99, I always had the utmost respect for you. Rest easy, Mikey - we'll catch up again some day.

Analyzing everything from life to law to why my paper airplane wouldn't fly, we always laughed with (and at) each other. My life is better for having known you.

You were taken from us too soon, Michael and you will never be forgotten. I will miss your beautiful smile, your crazy laugh and most of all your hugs. There will always be a special place in my heart for you. P.S. You still have that manly mustache in my memories of you!

Mike- There is no one to throw candy at me every morning and harrass me about my non-boyfriend and eat the rest of my food. I will miss our lunch outings and our talks. I will even miss you calling me a "baby". It's not the same without you and forever you will be greatly missed. If you look at it this way, you will never miss another White Sox game and you get to meet Elvis and John Wayne. Thank you for touching my life and giving me guidance.

Mike you will be so greatly missed here at the office. Who will I make that thick as mud coffee for now? Who else can I harrass mercilessly by silly little comments, and you still always managed to have the last word anyway? I thank you for being my friend and I will always remember you and that special grin that was always plastered on your face.

We will always remember Mike as someone who was quick to help his friends, whether by simply washing the dinner dishes, or by filling up a room with his boisterous humor and warmth. Our prayers are with Mike's family and many friends during this difficult time. He is a man that truly made a positive impact on those who knew him.

Mike, I was just thinking about you, Dave Mcgee and Richard Worth a week ago and wondering how you all were doing, reminiscing about the Thorebeck's and Baxters days. I've always looked up to you and have had a tremendous respect for you and I know my brothers do as well. You will be truly missed.

Who will I call with all my little quirky liquor license questions now that you're gone. I am so very happy that you touched my life Mike. You will be terribly missed.

You are my friend of 23 years, my teammate, and my brother. I will always remember your gentle strength, your smile, the times we spent together training, working, and just hanging out. I meant to call and was always "too busy" and now I'll always feel we had unfinished business. I'll always be sorry we didn't hangout more these last few years. I'll never forget you my friend.
Sincerely,
Vito
