Chris and Elisa, Nancy and my hearts go out to you and your families. Mike was a presence, he was intelligent, professional and always friendly. He sits on the same pedestal as Tony Shalna, Frank Carideo and Ken Beeson in the pantheon of men who influenced my life.

Requiescat in pace amica meus!

My brother was very special to me and so very important in my life. I realize, with his passing, that he was my "anchor." After I moved away from home to the other side of the country in 1979, he was my "interpreter" of all things family, and of me to them; and I tended to funnel everything through him because he was where I found understanding, along with his famous rationality and ability to cut through the weeds. A handful of years ago, he confessed to feeling that he had not been a good brother and had failed me, which was a complete shock to me and I quickly disabused him of that idea. In my pre- and early teens, while he was a young husband newly discharged from the military, we talked on the phone for two or three hours every Sunday. The love and guidance and listening/hearing I received from him were things I got nowhere else on that same level. We also loved to share music "finds" with each other. He was a mountain of strength, yet could display incredible tenderness. He was funny and acerbic, sharper than a tack, and a very principled man who I have been proud my entire life to call my brother. Now ... I can just say that the emptiness is the deepest blackness I´ve ever stared into: To never be able to share my life, interests, and love with him is the saddest thing I'll ever experience. We loved each other very much, and I already miss him terribly, but I am grateful that the Universe made us brother and sister, and grateful for all the precious memories.

We'll meet again, my brother. Pleasant travels, pilgrim. You have left a great legacy, and you will never be forgotten.
