I am very sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I clearly remember him as a kind and tolerant student as I fumbled my way through my first years of teaching. As hard as it is, may you be comforted by the memories of knowing and loving a truly good man.

May the Lord bless and keep you; may the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you; may the Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace.
My remembrances of Mike growing up in Leadville go back to Little League and what a dedicated player he was. Whatever the sport, Mike was always ready to give whatever it took for the team. Others have mentioned his generosity. The Lake County High School Class of 1973’s reunions were always successful in part because of Mike’s generous contributions. You will live on in many people’s warm memories of you Mike!
Prayers for you all. Mike was such a great guy and I appreciate his generosity. I am happy to have been able to know him and you all.
