Michael was a great guy with a smile and personality that was special. The last time that I saw him, he was just starting to enjoy his retirement and was so excited about it. My deepest sympathy goes to all of his family, especially his brother Henry and his other siblings.

My heart is so heavy with sadness about Michael's passing. I had known him since attending Lincoln school and saw him a few years ago at a dinner dance in Hanford. He was so happy to see me and still had that great smile and genuine warmth of a old friend. I pray that his loved ones are comforted by God's grace and be assured that he'll be there to welcome you at Heaven's Gate.

Mike our adventures were cut short, but tho I have only known you for 5-6 years, I feel like I have known you forever. In that short time we had many adventures together, danced many dances, attended many concerts. There will be a void and you will be dearly missed. I will always remember "Mi Hermano", always a smile, and miss hearing you answere the phone "Hey Hermano what doing" ! But you will always be with us on all the adventures, in our hearts and in the great memories that we carry with us. Till we meet again Hermano R.I.P.
I love you Hermano !!!
