Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and your family. It has truly been a honor and a blessing to have known you and your family. You have impacted my life in so many ways. You have taught me what unconditional love is and for that I am eternally grateful. Give a big kiss to Gloria for me. Until we meet again my friend. All my love <3

Christine,

Just learned of Mike's passing thru Jim Buresh. Mike and I were together one year at DU, but as you will know remained close and had many great times over the years. Time is marching on for all the early guys from the PKS fraternity who pledged between 1949 thru 1959. Mike will be greatly missed by all.
