OH! that's a shock. mike lived in our neighborhood. i remember he was a thinker and explorer of sorts . . . he was definitely a child of the 60s.

i have a recipe for a great pork roast, very involved and yummy, taking about 2 days to concoct that his mom gave me. his dad was a "famous" cook!

i send late condolences to his family.

love from

I'm sorry to hear of Michael's passing.... there are many great things about Michael that I have fond memories about. I've lost touch with Ted Ross, who knew him the best and Ted is somewhere here  in Seattle.  Ted, are you there !! ?? 

Among my favorites of Michael....

playing Risk with he and Ted Ross after school instead of tasking our homework.

riding in the back seat of Mike's Corvair Monza Convertable to the A & W.... it had  Spyder option ! ... the closet thing Detroit ever got to Porsche.

REST IN PEACE MICHAEL, I REMEMBER YOU FONDLY.

p.s., If anyone can talk Don Thurline into coming to the reunion, I'LL BE THERE !!

 

BEST,

(Kenneth) Lee Clemons

Mike was a fun and interesting fellow. If you ever rode with Mike, you'll remember that every time he talked to you...he looked at you....and every time he looked at you... he let off the gas pedal. Consequently, each ride was a constant thrusting forward and coasting back motion throughout his drive!

Beyond that, however, all conversations with Mike were enjoyable. He did love life!
