I was honored to be called handsome by Mike Comstock. He was always personable and approachable. He gave me a rugby shirt from Arizona when he found out I used to play! Always a pleasure working with him. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in Paradise!

I'm sorry to hear Mike passed away. He was a very nice guy with a great sence of humor, a fine athlete. I played Rugby with him for a few years before he left the team to play with the bats. I always had very good memories of him.

I watched Mike play at the polo grounds many Saturdays when I was very young. Mike hit much harder than anyone else on the field. The man had fire in his belly. He had a big impact in me. Even when I saw him many years later, he was still hitting hard. I liked Mike, he was a friend of my dad.

I played against Mike early in my career, while he was enjoying veteran status and he made a genuine point of both trying to help my game and run me over! I then played with him a bit here and there as I eventually entered the veteran stages, but then somehow coached him, once I retired! It was backward, but it made all manner of sense if you knew Mike. A standing testimony to his mental and physical durability, his deep-rooted desire and obvious, natural love for the sport and its all it’s wonderful allure. For those who know, Mike was bitten and smitten! He was a man of great character and intelligence, but also openness and true acceptance. He was certainly a hard man - a piece of cement physically (and a perfect prop) - but I could go years without seeing him, then inevitably run into him preparing for a game and he would instantly light up and invest real time into a conversation. He was a delight to be around and it was my honor to call him a friend. I and we all, will miss him immensely.

Mike was an incredible guy and someone who made me feel so welcome when I moved from the UK and joined the reds.
He was the first to say hi at practice and the first to check in with you on how life is going. At the same time he was tough as nails and an intense competitor on the field... just a top man.
Mike, you will be sorely missed. Rest easy bud.

Mike was one of the toughest and kindest people I have ever had the privilege of meeting.
I will never forget my first season with the REDS and all of the things he taught me when I was getting started.
Seeing this man decimate guys more than half his age on the pitch was a sight to see and a true inspiration.
Mike is a true legend in every sense of the word.
Until we meet again my friend!

I haven't seen Mike in 10, maybe 15 years. Probably last crossing paths at a rugby event of some sort in the Bay Area. But what I can say, is I remember his voice quite well after all this time. I remember his demeanor & the respect he generated at these rugby events. Everyone knew him, it was amazing. I played with Chris in high school, against him in college and thus saw Mike fairly often in these years. I always enjoyed talking with Mike and he was a role model for us young bucks. Toughness, a sense of humor, loyalty and fun off the field. That's what I will remember.
All my best to the Comstock family, Mike will be missed.

I never knew his name. But I knew his face. I took that picture for a Sports Illustrated story on rugby in 1979(the story was published about a year later). The story was supposed to be mainly about the Monterey Rugby Tournament and I had actually finished shooting it. But on a whim I went to one more game, in Golden Gate Park at the Polo Fields just to see if it would be any good. The light was great, so was the action, and this shot, from that game, ended up being the best picture in the story. Thank you, Michael. Sorry we never met. May you rest in peace.
