Very sad to learn of Mike´s passing some years ago. We were good friends in the mid-1970´s during our stint in the Army in Germany where Mike was the battalion legal clerk. We shared some good times making music together.

Your neice and great-nephew, all grown up. August 2013

Dear Uncle Mike,

Thank you for keeping in touch all these years. My childhood is spotted with receiving your letters and packages (usually video tapes, of course!) My favorite movie you gifted me was Mulan, which I kept all these years and just recently showed to your grand-nephew, Isaac Daniel. He loved "Oolan." :) Thanks again for sending those books to him when he was a baby. He especially liked the animal one. Your prescence in my life will be missed and you will be remembered fondly by Isaac and I. I will always regret that I didn't communicate back to you as often as I should have. Rest In Peace.

Love Always,
Allison Lee & Isaac Daniel
