I had heard that he was ill. I think Bo told me some time back. After his Iraq tour, he just never made it back to us. I will treasure his marbles. Edna

Atleast his fight is now over and he is at peace. He was a creative master with glass and his works will be forever treasured. God bless him and his family.

I'm SO bummed to hear this... I've been trying to get more info, but it's pretty thin out there...
Michael was such a good guy... We had a great internet friendship, but I wish I had gotten a chance to meet him. I know he lived a very simple life, that got very hard at times. But, he got by doing what he loved to do and being true to himself and his friends...

He's gone way too soon, way too young... But Marie, with the illness he was suffering, it must have been so hard and painful... He's been set free. Cry for us, but not for him... He's finally at peace.
