Mike was a good friend of mine. He was extremely funny - especially his stories of winter baseball in South America. He was also a devoted family man.

We met after he retired from baseball and we played a lot of golf together. I lost touch with him after I moved away from California. I was saddened by the news of his death. Does anyone know how he died?

I saw about a year ago that Mike had passed away. I couldn’t believe it. That was a sad day for me.

I played with Mike when he and I first signed with the California Angels and played together in rookie ball in Idaho Falls (Pioneer League) and then again the next year in Quad-Cities in the Midwest League. I still have pictures of him and me in my old box of pictures. I still have his baseball card from Quad Cities. I played shortstop and Mike played third base. He and I were roommates many times when the team played on the road. He was a great man and I always had high regard for him.

I remember when his wife came to be with him in Davenport, Iowa. I helped him fix up his first apartment, mainly painting, during the day and then playing the game that evening. In the middle of the season I was traded to the Cincinnati Reds and was out of baseball a couple of years later.

From time to time over the years as I have reminisced, I have found myself thinking about my friend and wondered how he was doing. All memories of him are positive and cannot think of anything negative to say about the man. He was a good baseball player and could hit with great authority. He also had a great sense of humor and there were many times he would “crack me up” with his jokes and impersonations.

I am happy to say that I knew the man and was a privileged to play baseball alongside of him.
