I just found about Mike. I knew Mike through business. I was a client of the computer software company he worked for. I loved, just loved talking to him. To begin with, he was so very smart. So totally knowledgeable and helped me with so much. But more importantly, Mike was a very funny man. So totally and completely funny. We laughed and joked all the time. He had a way with words- and was so quit witted, to a fault. We met only a few times, and the last time was when my partner and I went to a wedding in Naples, Florida. He and Dana and me and my partner went for lunch. And it was really nice to spend time with them. Not long after, Dana passed away, and he was buried here on Long Island- and I was sure to be there for Mike at that time. It turns out that Dana is buried only a few yards from where my parents are buried out on Long Island. I told Mike I'd be sure to visit Dana's grave whenever I was there. And I have done just that.
Recently I made a mental note to call Mike. And I never got to doing that. Another life lesson. Don't put off things like connecting with people. You just don't know.
My deepest condolences to Mike's family. I know that he is surely missed.
