Mike was a hero and role model for me at Millikan R.I.P.

Mike was a long time Vendor of mine at a variety of ad agencies in Los Angeles. His father owned John Adams & Son, a large Los Angeles engraver, that prepared pre-press matl's (film for newspaper & magazine ads, & collateral). Mike was one of their top sales reps. While I knew of him from Demille & Millikan, we didn't meet until well into our careers. He knew his craft, was always funny & charming. His Memorial was heavily attended by his classmates from high school & College, & a massive group from other ad agency vendors & clients, all who were members of the Advertising Production Assoc of Los Angeles. He was well respected in the business.
