ReplyDeleteThis has saddened my soul. Mike you were an iconto me. Your personality and talent were beyond words. You were humble and kind. I introduced Gracie to you a few years ago in Walmart. It was weird how I had been talking about you to her. For years she had pestered me about how to draw. She wanted me to teach her because she thought I could draw. I told her about you. I said, "Sweetheart one of these days, I'm gonna introduce you to the best artist I've ever seen. He can draw anything you want. I went to high-school with him. He drew me a picture one time of two deer standing by a stream in the forest. There were squirrels and birds in the trees. it. Just sat down with a piece of paper and BAM, there it was. I always cherished it. He may be famous now. I haven't seen him in years." Then we see you in Walmart a few days laterp. She's really shy and has anxiety about meeting new people but she looked at you and listened to how quietly and humbly you talked with awe and rapt attention. She never forgot you and neither will I. You will always be loved Mike and I will never stop telling people about this amazing guy and artist I knew in school. Barbara Currens
