I knew Mike years ago. He helped me with some legal matters and we became friends. I loved his smile and humor. I left California when I became sick with cancer. I won my battle. I´m sure Mike didn´t give up easily. He had an inner strength that reached out and made those who knew him stronger. Thank you Mike for that strength and the years of being your friend.

Our good friend Mike was tall in stature but even much larger in Persona. He lit up a room with his enthusiasm, energy, quick wit and personality. Big Mike was always a 'Man in Motion' and his legendary multi-tasking is legendary as is his Love of Sports! His savvy, humor, sports talk and friendship will be sorely missed but not forgotten, Our Warmest and Kindest Regards to Mike's Family.
