I knew Michael when I was very small, but I remember how he made me and my brother laugh. Evan, you are blessed to have had such a wonderful father, and now he is your guardian angel. I know my brother was there to greet him in Heaven. My thoughts are with you always.

My heart goes out to you, Patti. And Evan. We lost touch years ago, but I remember with much happiness and joy all the gatherings we had when the kids were small.. Yvonne and Walter had so much fun playing with Evan at all the picnics and parties. I will keep you both in my prayers and thoughts. And will remember Mike's wonderful sense of fun and adventure.

A Tribute To Mike:

Farewell Dear Friend From This Ground

A Golden Haired Boy

From Hawaii

With Skin of Brown, Eyes of Blue

And A Smile to Light the Stars

Warm Summer Evenings

And Barn-top Parties

Strawberry Fields and Miles to Go

And Songs, And Radios

Alban Dancing

Mid Music Sweet and Low

Laughter, Tears and Passion

And Love and Fear of What We Did Not Know

A Tolling Bell –

The War is On, Hearts Are Pounding

Life on the Precipice

Is Youth Now Spent …

In Uniformed Grace

Before the Bouillon and Knox

Served the Troop Well

Doing Time – Lapse the Freedom Bell

Alas, The Door is Open

Fly Above the Tide, The Moon

Savor Youth, Sever Fear and None Too Soon

For Time is Ticking On

And What a Time It Was

Kuralt’s America

Across The Plains and Mountains and Rivers

Trekked those Seeking

As Simon Said, “They’ve All Gone to Look …”

Michigan, California, Colorado and More

His Eye Through the Camera; His Hand At the Pen

An Artist, Tho He Never Knew

Breathe Deep and Fill the Darkness Inside

Raise Arms and Lift Your Face

Embrace Freedom and Life

… But Let Tomorrow Stay

A Woman – His Woman

Their Son

And Canines, Many

Each a Member of Their Family

Who Drew Close at Christmas

Before the Fire

And Held Each Other in Tenderness

Mid the Storms of Life’s Lessons

Golden Hair Gives Way to Pewter

And Skin is Road Signs of Struggle, and Joy

And Life Has Challenged Most Strenuously

But, Never Gone is the Innocent Boy

Farewell, Dear Friend

From This Ground

Where We Once Stood Together

And Contemplated All of This

As Life’s Years Melt Away

And Youth Seems a Far Flung Tune

We Shall See Each Other Again

We Shall Meet Beyond the Tide and The Moon

My deepest sympathies to Patti and Evan. My memories of Mike are filled with laughter. Especially when you think of the joy he brought others. Like the night of his bachelor's party when he treated his friends to his unique dancing style and mode of dress. My heart goes out to your Patti. We will all miss Michael's bright light!!!

While I was saddened to hear of Mike's passing I appreciate the fond memories and friendship we shared. Mike was a good friend and someone that will be forever remembered. I'll never forget his beaming smile, witty remarks, and great sense of humor. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Patti, Evan and all of Mike's family.

Mike you and I grew apart after I moved to Key West. There was never a month that went by that I did not think of you, Pattie and Evan. You loved your son and wife soooo much, it always made me smile.

Pattie, if there is anything I can do for you and Evan just let me know. Pattie, having just lost my son, if you ever need to talk.

Mike, keep an eye on your family from above
