To the family of Mr. Amaya sorry for your loss, may GOD give you his STRENGHT, HIS LOVE, AND HIS PEACE in this time of sorrow. It sounds like Mr. Amaya was a character liked to have fun with family and friends. His memory will live on everytime you tell a story about him or just seeing something simple and you will smile of the memory. Just take it one day at a time and as each day passes it does get easier to deal with your loss. May Mr. Amaya RIP.

We`re sorry to learn of Mike`s passing. He was quite a character and a great neighbor. He taught Bob a lot about racing and working on cars. I know he`ll be greatly missed by friends and family. Take care Mike.

I was deeply saddened to learn today that Mike had passed away. Mike was a huge influence in my life during my high school years of the early 70's. As my neighbor and good friend, he taught me all about dirt track race cars, I was one of mechanics working on the car and his "pitman" when we raced. What I learned fom Mike during that time helped shape who I am today.
On this past 4th of July here in the Chico, CA., we attended the 410 sprint and stock car races as we do throughout the season. I always think about Mike when I'm there, wondering how he is doing and remembering my younger days with Mike and his family and how much fun we had. If it had not been for my relationship with Mike and his family, I would never had met my wife Lori.
My deepest sympathy to all of the family and especially Vera, Jennifer and Erika.
Love,
Bob
