Mike died in 2007 as a result of long-term effects of injuries sustained in a car accident that occurred in 1968. Mike was a passenger in a car with Jeff Chappelow, Ed Storm and Dick McDonald.
I recently obtained the reflection on Mike via Pat Walsh, class of '70. Although we were good childhood friends living closeby in the neighborhood, I had not seen Mike since HS. Pat said Mike's adult life was quite difficult with numerous people taking advantage of him. Now they cannot. Peace be with him.
I remember that accident well but also remember seeing him now and again over the years during my stay in KC in the 90's. Always a fun loven and remember his smile when he'd laugh. Again another to think of when driving past the school. Sorry to hear that the accident took/got ya anyway Mike.
