My deepest sympathy to all those who loved Miles. I knew Miles since 1968 as a new lawyer in Bay City. Miles came to Bay City often. It was my privilege to see Miles in my court when I served as a District Judge. Miles was friendly, always prepared and had a great sense of humor. We had many wonderful conversations in my chambers and in Court. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.
