I´ve had the pleasure of working with Mike on many many projects over the years and always enjoyed seeing him. He was so good at what he did, wallpaper was his specialty and my rooms look so fabulous. I will miss him! My thoughts to his wife whom he talked about often.

Mike was my best friend throughout our high school and college years. He was a wonderful friend through both good times and bad. We had so many adventures together throughout which Mike always displayed his great sense of humor and profound philosophical wisdom. I will always cherish his memory. He will be deeply missed by all of us. We love you, Mike!
