Hi Pam - So much to be greatful for - the many hours of Karate and medtation shared late '70's early '80's taking me safely through my teenage years and into early adulthood. I have fond memories of frequent meditation evenings we shared with Alan 'The Captain.'
With love to you and your family

Pam and family, I am deeply saddened to learn of Mike's passing. He was a true inspiration to me as a young man learning the art of karate and I want you to know the fundamentals I learned back then, not not just of karate but of life, have never left me. I know he has touched the lives of so many, I am but one humble student who feels incredibly blessed to have known him and studied under him. May God bless you during this very difficult time.
