Our Condolences

Michael was a great guy, kind hearted, spirited, quick witted, a lover of the sea, and a good kind man. I can remember Michael taking the time to give the marina kids a ride on his amphibious craft and I am not sure who had more fun.

Until we meet again, may God Hold you in the palm of his hand.

I have dedicated my 2016 PMC ride to honor you.

God Bless,

Joe, Cathy, Ryan, and Carrie Coote.

Janet and Sasha I was so sad to hear this news. Michael was one of the first people I met at Marina Bay and can't believe he is gone. I always enjoyed the talks we had and looked foward to seeing him ride his bike down the dock or paddle board by with a smile. I will truly miss him. My condolences to the Reck family.

I had the privilege of working for and with Michael at Webstone for almost 9 years. His approach to business and life was truly unique. Michael gave us the leadership and support to do our very best. I will fondly remember our many talks and discussions and his genuine interest in my ideas.
