I was very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I never met him in person, but thoroughly enjoyed inking a few of his Conan stories at Marvel. Mike, your art lives on!

Still thinking of you, JoEllen.  I was very fond of Mike...my friend and roommate. And though we were apart these past years, I still felt close to you both. I know he will be missed.  Such a special guy!!

I met Mike about forty-five years ago,and for years after we did everything together,drank,built bikes and had a great time. In 1980 he went to America,but he never forgot his friends over here,he still kept in contact,and when I eventually got online,there was hardly a day that an anecdote or a joke wasn't waiting for me. I will miss my good friend. Nodrog

our hearts and our thoughts are with you Jo Ellen at the sad loss of this truly wonderful amazing man Michael .we loved him and will miss him always . grant and Linda from Glasgow Scotland .

Mick and myself go back roughly 40 odd years and while we got ourselves into and out of many scrapes mick was a right character and you could not help laughing about things. Although we have not met in many, many years I will sorely miss him and his antics

Michael was one of the kindest and funniest people I've had the honor to know.  I'm so truly sorry for his loss.  Jo Ellen, my thoughts and prayers are with you.  His candle was so bright and so strong, that the world is dimmer without him.

Michael has enriched our lives beyond measure. He will be deeply missed. We continue to keep you in prayer, JoEllen for strength and comfort.

I first met Mike and Jo Ellen almost 25 years ago. It was on my birthday, April 5, 1991. I was on vacation in Santa Monica and shopping for comic books, when we went out for a drink with John, the owner of Hi-Di-Ho comics. He introduced us by saying: "you owe this man some money" and that was the start of our friendship, mostly from afar, as I live in Switzerland. I am deeply saddened by this loss and hope that you, Jo Ellen, will stay strong in a time when doing so is far from easy. I raise my glass to you, Mike, and to you, Jo Ellen. Thank you.

Thinking of you, Jo Ellen and praying for your comfort.  I'm having a hard time believing he is gone....
