Mike,
Its hard to believe it has been 17 years since you passed. I think of you every day and wonder what our life could have been. You are always in my heart and it is because of you that I am able to see myself better then before you came into my life. I dream of you alot and miss you so much that my heart still hurts for you. Love you always my love. Love Rose

Mike was my soul mate and i will never forget how he changed my life. I love and miss him so much. Still hard to belief he is gone. We had a great future to look forward to and yet he was taken at such a young age.

There are no words to express how shocked I felt when I learned of Mike's passing. Those who knew him well have many memories with which to keep Mike alive in their hearts; I envy them. I knew Mike through the square dance community, and was always struck by his infectious laugh, his sense of mischief, and his sincere enjoyment of calling. He brought great joy to the dancers and created tremendous energy with his desire to "stir the pot." He touched a great many people through his willingness to share of himself, of the gift of his friendship and laughter, and through his ability to bring a smile to those whose lives he touched. He is already missed, but those of us who had the pleasure to experience him will not so soon forget. Keep him alive in your hearts by sharing memories of the fun and joy he brought to you -- and he will never, truly, be "gone."

My condonences to the family, loved ones and all those lucky enough to have known Mike. Mike tangled our toes and warmed our hearts with his own special style of teaching/calling. I am very fortunate to have been one of his students. He will be sorely missed.

It was always a special treat when Mike called a dance--he was, quite simply, the COOLEST square-dance caller there ever was! We were blessed to have him with us, and he will never be forgotten. Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to all his family and friends at this time.

We always enjoyed it when Mike was calling the dance. He had an infectious smile that swept away any cares. We'll always think of him when we hear a call that includes "no hands". He was a ray of sunshine that will be greatly missed.
