Isn’t that hard to imagine Michael as a middle aged man? We all have a lasting impression of Michael in the prime of life, young, ambitious, creative, experienced and seasoned in his music craft with a professionalism that is still held in highest respect and awe by some of the greatest performers of this age.

It’s hard to believe it has been nineteen years since your father and I sat down to dinner.  We laughed and joked as you regaled us with stories of your life in U.K. You spoke of Paula, Tiger and her sisters with such love and affection it touched our hearts.  The news the next morning forever shattered that idyll. On a different note, along with Bowie and Prince I am sure you have welcomed another great into the…  Read more

After months of re-designing and coding, Michael’s Memorial Website is finally ready to shine in a new light. With our heritage site dating back to 1998, there was much that needed changing in order for Michael’s site to take advantage of the latest Web technology. A real challenge was to transfer the nearly 16,000 messages from the old site to the new. We found a reliable solution with the Gwolle Guestbook. Some of the old content…  Read more
