Farewell

Ah Michael, we'll miss ye.....
A gifted artist and fun to talk to.

Jim

An artist with many talents......also a very humorous story teller.
I very good remember his storys about second world war

His abstract style (mobius band, dutchmen, etc.) was and is unique !

Thank You for inspiring other artists !!!
