I was Mike’s friend when we were in elementary and middle school at Woodrow Wilson and Washington schools in Port Huron. Mike was funny, intelligent, and an extremely talented musician (piano) and composer. If you knew Mike at all well, you have heard “Macaroni,” his whimsical composition playable as only he could by more or less dislocating that amazing set of thumbs he possessed to achieve the span necessary to play some of the Rachmaninov-like chords it included. We stayed loosely in touch on Facebook, but I regret not following through on the reunion that he and Mike Cartier and I talked about. I can hear his laugh and shall aiways remember him fondly. My condolences to his friends and family. Fred Baker
