Michael was the best spiritual mentor I have ever had. For me,there will never be another like him. I learned a tremendous amount from him at Bible study, and all the other times we shared together. He was a close friend, we had much in common in experiences and interests. I often run across books and articles and think, “Michael would have loved this book” or “I would love to ask him a question or two about this article”. The way Michael lived his faith continues to be an inspiration to me and always will. I appreciated his wit and humor, his intellect, and his gentle mannerisms. Michael was a great man, I feel very fortunate to have known him well, and I miss him greatly. Thank you to Karen for allowing me to have one of Michael’s Bibles, which I treasure. Matt, Beck, Alyssa and Karen, may God give you the strength to carry on.
