Mike was a true friend and I loved him very much. We had great times together—two people who meet up from a passion about synthesizers and music and became close friends. He always talked about his family, showed me pictures and share stories—he was so proud of that. Mike was exceptionally intelligent and a fountain of knowledge, his passion on so many fields was inspiring. If there is one thing we can find comfort in is that Mike really lived life to the most, although passed young, he did so much, influenced many and was there for so many people, all while raising a family and working very hard. Mike I will miss you so much.

So, so sad to hear about Mike. His synthesizer web site has been a vibrant hub since the day he launched it and I have made great friends on there. My heartfelt condolences to all who loved him.

Someone, somewhere is at this precise moment making art because of Mike. He touched and helped change the lives of many all scattered around the world. That is a thing of beauty and you should be proud. From Portugal, a small country in the south of Europe, i offer my condolences. Thank you, Mike.
