The descriptions on this page sum him up so perfectly already. I can't think of better words. Kind, gentle, wise, patient, and a man of principles, but at the same time he seemed to carry inside him this constant little chuckle about the world he observed around him.
They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! He was father to two beautiful boys who grew up into awesome men. Matt was my best friend at school, which meant Jim was like an older brother to me, and in turn, Michael was a bit like a second father, and another male role model in my formative years. The best phrase I can think of to describe him is as 'a guiding influence', for that was his way. Not to try to shape or control, but to help us in finding our own good paths to take.
The painting captures his essence so perfectly! Michael - thankyou for just being there and being who you are. The world is just a better place with people like you in it, and we'll miss you and treasure and celebrate our memories of you.
