Dear Carolyn,
I was terribly saddened to learn only yesterday of Mike's passing. He was a wonderful man. You both were so kind to me while I was living with you my Senior year in college. My deepest sympathies to Amanda and Blair as well. I remember my days talking with Mike after work quite fondly. I have much respect for him. May God continue to bless his soul. Respectfully,

Thomas Odetto Sr.

Dear Mrs. Deaver, I recently had the pleasure of reading Mr. Deaver's book " A different drummer ". I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mike's journey with President Reagan. I hope that you have found peace and my family sends its deepest sympathy. Best Wishes, Tom Odetto Sr.

I was in the Navy when Ronald Reagan took over as President. Ronald Reagan had his 3 top advisors and Mike was one of them. He had the President's ear. You read many things about Mike. Good, bad, and so on. I have never met him and that is my misfortune. I have much respect for this man. To his family, I want to wish my deepest condolences. He will be in my prayers.

Mike Deaver and I have been friends for 45 years beginning in the days where he was director of the Santa Clara County Republican Central Committee. We were together as musicians too when his piano name was Michael Kieth. At one point his piano name was painted on the entire side of the Interlude Restaurant in San Jose on 4th Street.I was a local professional drummer then and we worked together. We also worked together professionally in politics when we were both in Sacramento. Mike was a wonderful guy who grew so much through adversity. I will miss him.
