My heartfelt condolences, Daisy. A sweet, funny, and handsome guy, I remember that Michael had a special talent for recreating delicious Steak and Ale mushrooms in the ‘70s! Take care, dear friend.

Daisy, sincere sympathy on the loss of Michael. I remember him well, especially at the bus stop at the corner of Bancroft and Parkside!

"Duckie" was a high school and college friend where we shared many good times like hitchhiking back and forth from Toledo to Athens and Steak & Ale parties. He was always fun, upbeat and truly one of the "good guys." May he rest in peace.
