He loved playing with his children. He enjoyed watching his children play soccer or perform for him. Mike received his PHD and ran a lab for a number of pharmaceutical research organizations. He also created some type of procedure for extracting something at a microbiological level which enabled him to isolate some kind of enzyme or what ever for the desease research he was doing. As you can tell I don't have my PHD in Micro Biology. I attended his memorial and was impressed by the professional impact he had made in his career. We had many great times and memories together. I will miss you my friend Paul Spence
