I have known Mike my hole life.  One of my first memories is when I asked a Question to the smartest person i knew, My sister Beth.  She said "Lets ask Mike, He is smart"  I don't remember the Question, But I do remember My mind was blown that the  Smartest person in the world to me thought someone else was so smart.  He was.  I also remember how easy it was to talk to Mike and ask questions and I was on my best behavior because I liked him and wanted to talk more  and always had more questions. It Felt Good to talk to Mike and laughter always was next.  Mike was like Google, But I trusted Mike more.  Throughout my life my questions went from science and the world to Life and I was so comfortable I could ask him anything. Mike was a lot more than super smart.  Mike gave me answers and guidance,direction, opinion ,and suggestions through good times and bad. I am truly blessed to have  to have such an incredibly wonderful man in my life  My deepest sympathy to Beth, Amy, Brian, Chris, Dave,, Laney and Jasper.

My favorite thing to tell anyone about my brother Mike is that he is a member of the Sea Glass Association of America! ✨ It gives me an enormous sense of pride. When my children and I would visit we would spend hours scouring the beach near his place in Fortescue. He even designed a special sea glass scooper so you wouldn’t have to bend over. Mike was a collector and gatherer and would research the history of all his magical finds. We would spend hours examining each piece after the search. The most exciting find was a “red” that my daughter Melanie located. You would have thought she struck gold that day. I will treasure my memories of Mike and his enthusiasm of a great find. All my love Mike...Rest In Peace. ✨♥️

Looking through photos to find some to post I realized that my dear brother Mike and his family have been such a big part of my life for so many years.  Sorry that the photos are out of order but I thought they were all worth sharing.  Thank you Beth, Christine, Amy and all for sharing such an amazing person with the rest of us!  You have always made so many of us welcome whenever we showed up at one of your homes and it has always been cherished time.  Mike's knowledge of everything he & Beth were interested in was shared not only with us but with anyone who had an interest.  He was larger than life and was so strong and brave at dealing with all that life threw at him with Beth at his side.  His love for Beth, Amy, Brian, Christine, Dave, Laney and Jasper showed in his actions and his eyes.  Love you to the moon and back!
