Mike,

Sad you are gone. You were a ton of laughs in school. See you some day.

Dear Mike,
We've gone from 8-Track players to Facebook.
I remember our long evenings walking around in Wildwood listening to Ena Gada Vida and Pink Floyd's Ummaguma on your old 8-Track,…until the batteries started to wear out….the Bass notes starting to slowwww down into many weird effects….
I remember looking up into the night sky and us seeing the Aura Borealis…and you getting all excited thinking it's the Second Coming.
I was and still am inspired by your love of life and love of people and love for the good Lord above.
Thanks for sharing all your thoughts with me, and turning me on to the magic in life,…maybe at times naive sounding,…but still inspiring.
Mike, my friend,…Ziggy my brother,….it's Hanukkah over here,…and believe me ,….your light is shining on,….in us your friends and family……..
Peace be upon you,
Doane Varsek (a.k.a. Doron Ben Avraham)

Dear Zoe, Mikey, and Madeline - We are very sorry for your loss. Mike was a wonderful guy and he is going to be missed by alot of people.One of my favorite memories of him was everytime he got together with Jeff they would giggle like two 12 year old girls. It was the funniest thing to see those two together. It always brought a smile to my face. Even if I had to go to work the next day.
