Very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Somehow, Melanie heard about it and told me. The last time I saw Mike was on Main St in T'ride. He told me that you had moved to Scottsdale on doctors suggestion to avoid the high altitude that may have been the cause of a unique lung disorder.

I have been trying to find Karen & Steve's tel numbers, but keep coming up empty handed. Sadly, I am leaving for Italy on Friday and will miss Mike's Memorial service.

Our best to Karen, Steve & Amy who have lost a great friend and parent. all of the Richmond boys will miss his smile and great sense of humor!
