He was a pleasure to have not only as my patient when he was here in DC but as my friend. He always kept me laughing and had a way to put a smile on my face when I was down. I will miss him greatly. It came as a surprise to here the news because I thaught of him and left him a message. He returned my call letting me no that he was happy to here from me and that I had thaught of him. We always seem to have missed each other calls but left emails and messages. I love You Mike and I've missed you sence you left. I will always keep a special place for you in my hart and continue to think of all the ways you made me smile when I'm down. Love as you no (KIKI)
