Sorry for this delayed message. We were good friends with Mike when he lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and he went camping with our family on the Trinity River. We were talking and wondering where our friend wound up after we lost contact. Sadly, when I did a search I found this obituary. We met Mike when he was working for 3M and his name comes up whenever we get together with our best friends from that time. He was one of a kind, witty and smart.

John and Dawn, so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so very sorry to Michael's family, for their loss.

I rode a couple of Ragbrai's and in fact that was where I met Michael. He was a very kind and fun person to hang out with. We laughed and drank and rode our bikes! He was a super guy! I will miss him and remember the fun I had with him. Rest in peace, my friend.

I will miss Michael very much. He was my friend and I drove him to places he needed to go. We talked politics sports and all matters of life. He maintained a passion for life despite all his physical challenges. on that subject i never heard him complain or feel sorry for himself. I will miss our conversations.

John and Dawn and Amy and all the Eckrich family you are in our prayers. If Michael is anything like Johnny he will always be a great man. Never got the chance to really meet Michael but was blessed with knowning the other family members. God Bless You All.

I am sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I have many fond memories of our times together on RAGBRAI. Barb
