Kerri Hearn: One of my favorite memories of Mike comes from a trip my parents took to Montauk to visit him. A hurricane was approaching, and while most people would have stayed safely on shore, Mike and my Dad couldn’t resist the ocean. The waves were enormous, and the two of them had to go in.
My mom stayed on the beach, watching with equal parts worry and awe as Mike and my Dad laughed, smiled, and played in the water, riding the waves like carefree kids. She remembers how joyful they were, completely alive in that moment, sharing pure fun and friendship.
That was Mike, full of life, adventurous, and a truly wonderful friend to my Father. Their bond was deep, genuine, and filled with laughter. Mike will always hold a special place in our hearts. xo
