I remember Mike very well -- from volleyball association meetings, matches and tournaments.
I worked with him several times. Mike was always easy to talk to, and was truly a student of officiating.
We frequently discussed match situations, and philosophy of rule interpretation and enforcement.
Mike was a consummate professional -- respectful to me and other match participants, always.
Mike's death will indeed leave a void for his family, and for the brotherhood of officiating,
