sissydear Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glangley Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 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. I hope we all get there one day.
