I first met Mike when we moved to San Luis Obispo in 1971. We lived across the street from Mike, his grandmother and his aunt. Mike spent quite a bit of time at our house enjoying time with my son, Tom. They enjoyed listening to music together and playing games. Mike was kind and never said a bad word about anyone. He loved animals and they felt a special bond with him. I will miss his calls and our conversations. Rest in peace my friend.

Mike was a man who was gentle, faithful and loving to everyone who knew him. He loved God and is now enjoying being in God's presence healed and whole.
