We are Greg and Darla, former residents of the "Clamdigger" motel. Big Mike was a good friend of ours and we will never forget his kindness and generosity. We have moved from Pismo but will never forget Big Mike's stories and the times we all spent on our deck or around the bonfire on warm summer nights. We will miss him and Pismo won't be quite the same without his smile. With much sorrow and love, Greg and Darla

My name is Renee Dixon of the former "Clamdigger" motel. Mike was a long-time friend and helper around here. After the sale of the property, I continued to stay here and Mike got into the wonderful habit of bringing me Beautiful roses which he would leave on my front porch. I will always be looking for Big Mike. With love , Renee
