Mike is remembered by me as a strong and quiet presence. Always I will appreciate the day I first met most of the Oliver family at a birthday party. It was overwhelming, but Mike sat beside me, gently introducing anyone, especially the kids, if they approached. He was a comforting presence on many occasions.
