Carlene, I just heard from Karen. Our thoughts are with you. I did run into Mike on a job near my office about 40 years ago on Beacon Hill. It was a quick hello as I was holding up traffic. If you ever get back up this way give us a call. Sorry to hear I am sure you miss his smiling face. Fred Q.

I know he will be missed by many! My second Dad growing up - so many great memories of him, times up at the 'lot' in Bellingham - boating and getting me to eat sea cucumbers, teaching me about saving 10% of what I make, and best of all - his laughter - I can still hear it! He will live on in all our memories!!
