My deepest condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of working with Michael and I would always see him ready such big books. We would talk about our family and laugh about things the kids did.  Such a nice person and glad that I was able to share memories with him. God blessings upon his family and my prayers for your comfort and strength during this difficult time.  
Michael we sat across each other and the day goes fast when we talk non-stop about music and everything there is to talk about. Rest in peace my friend and co-worker. May the perpetual shine upon you. Till we see each other again.

      His life will live on in the minds and hearts of his family.  May you take comfort in your memories and the feeling of love that he brought to your lives.

My Nino will be missed so, very much. He always brought joy, happiness,  and a million laughs to my sisters and I, when we used to stay the weekend with Grandma Abbey. (happiness auto corrected to hippie ness and yes, he brought that too) 

 I hope he and my dad are having a laugh together . They will live in on in my heart! God Bless. 💕

Although I have not been in Micheal’s life these past years. He did leave a huge imprint in my heart.  Thank you Micheal for being there for me as a teenager dealing life without a father figure. You made sure to include me into your tribe and share memories like watching a movie with great company surrounding the fire place.  Those cozy moments live in my heart ♥️  the stories you told were fascinating and it stretched my imagination in many ways. It was because of you that I grew the love of reading and music!!! 🎺 I will always remember how much you have given me throughout my life. Love you poppa always, 

- Veronica 

Michael and I were close friends since the late 60’s/early 70’s.  Met & worked together at “Gold’s Furniture”. A few years later, we worked together in bands from ELA.  He was such a talented musician not to mention funny.  He was such an intelligent man….so well read and able to hold a conversation of multiple topics.  

The gigs we played together were great!  The road gigs were absolutely interesting and that’s all I’ll say about that.  Haha

I will always miss his phone calls. Our conversations related to just pure friendship, love and respect.   

You’ll always be my Miguelito and I’ll be your Genorima. 💔
