So very sad to hear this news, Mike was the Best!

I met Mike back in 96 or 97, shortly after getting into Tiki.
Needing to get some art from Hawaii Framed. We went down to his shop to have it done.
He commented on how cool the art was, and the nice Koa wood frames that we had to put it in.
Whenever the pics would slip a bit, he said bring them in, and I'll re-aline them no charge.
Whenever I saw him at Tiki events, he always asked how my parents were, and that I should make them come out more.

I have a bunch of stuff that needs to be framed, and I vow to have it all done at Mike's shop.
It'll just be a bummer to not see him there smiling behind the counter.
But I know the Money will be going to his family.

My deepest sympathies go out to the Adler Family and friends.
