When Mike (Tony) worked for me as my Quality Control Manager, he did well. His whole family was committed to excellence, and his brother, Rudy, (later President of Tony Lama), were by my side every day. My thoughts and memories of those days are among the finest of my 82 years. They were very fond of my wife, Sondra, of whom I am still married after 60 years. Armando Romero and I shared many memorable jokes with Mick and Louis Lama. Mick was absolutely the LIFE of any party. I am saddened to know of his passing. I wish we could be together again. Fond memories Michael. For followers of Tony Lama alums: [email protected] is a way of connecting with us.
