A gentleman and a scholar,
As lovely as the bluest sky,
I'll truly miss him very much -
So hard to say good-bye.
His voice was so distinct and soothing
Almost like a lullaby -
I can't believe I'll never hear it again -
So hard to say good-bye.


My love and sympathy to Helen and the family. I knew Mike from the Southport writer's grloup. He was one of the most lovely gentlemen I have ever met. May he rest in peace and be reunited with Norma. Like many, I will miss him very much.
