I think every single one of my friends had a huge crush on Mike at some time through junior or senior high. He was so movie-star handsome. I remember one summer night riding my bike to Willows beach and he asked me to come back later to meet him but I didnt out of loyalty to my friend who liked him. BETH RICHARDS - I hope you read this, lol. I have sweet memories of him and that "missed kiss".
tribute by Ginny RohlichI grew up with Mike, going to school with him at Shorewood Hills Elementary, and West Junior and Senior High. He was a gentle soul, but had a quick temper and would not hesitate to defend himself or his friends. I always wanted him "on my team!" I remember one incident clearly where I did something to make him mad, and he threw a kickball in my face with such force that it knocked me off my feet. Point made. Lesson learned. We remained really good friends from then on.
