Mike was always the smartest guy in the room. I was always amazed at his little garage workshop in Escondido. He was always tinkering with new ideas and fixing things. Mike and Linda were always the most generous adoptive parents of me growing up and always including me in meals and family celebrations. They always put up with my shenanigans when his son, my best friend Ken, and I got together. He was always so up-to-date and sharp on current events as well as other things. I will miss his bone breaking, firm handshake when he would greet me. We will see you again. Thanks for the great memories.
