Not only did we share the 4 years at Gonzaga together, but at the annual alumni smoker, we would update each other on what was happening in our lives. My condolences and prayers go to his family.

Since meeting Mike in 1958, I was always impressed by his focus, candor, and commitment. At Gonzaga High School, Mike was a terrific classmate who was always available to lend a hand or share an anecdote. Mike's commitment to his country was evident in his distinguished military service. My prayers and condolences go out to Mike’s Family. Mike will be missed by everyone who knew him.
