The Austin Healey in the 60's and the cull fights up in the sorting room of Crown Zellarbach. So many good memories of a big-hearted friend. It was so good to see you the last time and I am very sad it will not be again. Rest in peace, my friend.

Mike was such a sweet happy guy and our hearts are broken to learn of his untimely death. Although we had not seen him in many years, it seems like yesterday he was in the Converting Office smiling with that cute twinkle in his eyes, friendly with all. It was just an honor to have known this well meaning, well intentioned teddy bear, the world has lost a special human being. Rest In Peace Mike, and ya know, those lucky angels!

We are so sorry to learn of Mikes passing. I have fond memories of Mike when we were young at family get togethers. I have missed seeing and visiting with Mike at Fred Meyers over the past few years. We would see each other often there at the coffee shop. Susie and family our thoughts and prayers are with you.
