    i was once told the best epitaph one could have is ‘He was a Good Man’ – that’s an epitaph Mike earned several times over. He will be missed and he will be remembered.

    I am sorry to hear about the loss of Dr Boska. His life had far reaching impacts. My son is a PhD candidate at UNL and was scheduled to begin working with Michael on his related research. I just want to extend my personal condolences on your loss and hope his work will continue to help others.

    Those were some great winters skiing with Mike in Utah’s mountains. I had some of the best conversations with Mike. My thoughts are with you Marge and Mike’s family. I will miss those bear hugs on skis. What a great guy.

It is our sincere hope you find comfort in knowing that God has promised to “swallow up death forever” (Isaiah 25:8), and that he will resurrect our dear loved ones who have passed away. (John 5:28).
