Greetings. I knew Michael slightly but in a great way, maybe we went hiking or something. Can't recall but it was maybe as early as Moosilauke, where cheerful me offered to shuck corn and they gave me a 50 gallon trash can and said THANKS! Anyway I was sorry to hear of his passing, same thing killed my dear friend Andy Mann, the video artist. I wish the world had pulled together and D made a pivot from the current nosedive before he escaped to Fiddler's Green but maybe I'll see him there!

I loved him and you Deb. Thank you for being who you are. 🖤

Debbie, I am sending you and your boys condolences, prayers, and a big hug. I am so very sorry to hear of Mike's passing- he was such a bright light and what a blessing to have known him. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you and your family. Sending much love.

Deborah, I am so sorry for your loss! I have been thinking of you, McKinley, and Riley often and wish I could give you a big hug. I'm glad that Stef and I got to spend some time with Mike last October.

I have a list of friends that I plan to reach out to in order to honor Mike's memory. Thank you for prompting us to do that -- I will think of Mike with each call and text!

What a wonderful example Mike set these last few months. We are all better people for knowing him. Sincerest condolences to you, Debbie, and the kids. We sure will miss him.

Debbie - I'm so very sorry to hear about Mike's struggle and recent passing. Your tribute to him and description of his positive approach to life and illness is truly inspiring. Our best wishes to you and your family for peace in the days and years ahead.

Deborah, I am so sorry to hear your news, and my thoughts are with you and your sons. I loved what you wrote about reaching out to someone from your past. Connections are everything. I am thinking about those kid activities with Mike years ago. Those were great times.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Mike always had a positive attitude, and we will always remember his smile. Our thoughts and prayers to you and the boys.

Thank you Deborah for sharing this journey. I've learned so much about grace from you and Michael - you are remarkable. I'm so sorry for your loss.
