i remember him. He was part of a loose "gang" of us who rode our bikes around the Proctor and North End neighborhoods and explored all the gullies. I remember playing spin the bottle under the Proctor bridge!! In middle school, he was an item with a young girl named Ramona Barnes (I think). I remember because I had such a crush on him until high school!
Have always been sad that he slipped away from us. I'm glad I have some clear, fun memories of him.
Kit, I too remember Mike so well. He rode his bike down to my house near Pt. Defiance one time and didn't say anything before he came. I think he got in trouble at home for doing that. I too was crazy about Mike. Maybe Kit it was because he was taller like us. Margie Wall Abels
My memories of Mike were when we played baseball/basketball/football. He was much bigger than most of us and he had more talent than us, but he was a gentle giant. We miss you Mike.
I remember going to his grade school to play his team in softball. He was already Ruthian in statuire and reputation. I also remember how unkind the track team coaches were to him when he attempted to get back into athletics. He was charismatic in a very vulnerable sort of way.
