Dear Diane,
I was so shocked to hear Mike passed away when Jeff sent out an e-mail to ATI dealers sharing of Mike's passing. I will always remember his happy face and joy when talking with him at either CES or ATI. I know he will truly be missed and it was a privilege know him and you. May the Lord give you his peace at this time of sorrow and loss.

Always in His love & grace,
Ed Frias

Dear Diane,
I'm deeply saddened by Mike's passing - seeing the two of you is truly one of very few things I miss about no longer attending CES or CEDIA. He was a great guy, full of enthusiasm, wit and energy, and he'll be missed by all who were privileged to know him and call him their friend. Best wishes to you and your family as you move forward in his absence.

Dear Diane and family, I only knew Mike from sharing our passion in the model airplane hobby, it was always a pleasure being around him at the flying field. He was a true advocate that many of us admired. In today's hobby where there are airplanes already built and flown, he was a dedicated builder, an art that has steadily declined through the the years. He held my admiration through all his accomplishments. He will be truly missed. May you and your loved ones receive my deepest condolences, may Mike soar where Eagles fly, God Speed, Frank Oliver
