Mike, you will be dearly missed. I cherish the fond memories of our encounters and philosophical chats, first with great regularity in your worldly market brokerage role, then too infrequently when you had moved on to your beloved La Quinta. Your generosity, kindness, light-spirited heart, and tales of deep wisdom stand out. You were a trusted anchor and serving guide, be it by channeling Lowry's reports or paving the way amidst Joshua trees alike. I am proud to have called you my friend. May you rest in peace.
