My deepest condolences to the Gies family. Words can not express the sadness felt and shock. Michael was one of a kind, he had a smile that made you look back....mischievous so much fun. All of his one liners that made us all laugh almost asking for "one more". My favorite memory was his version of the Bangles song "Dance Like A Egyptian" we never laugh so hard, that became his hallmark. What a great guy.....My deepest sympathy. Pattie Buckley

I really Loved his sense of humor, and very sharp immediate wit. His humor gave a joke last for hours, just by a simple look. It was an absolute pleasure knowing him, and great honor being his friend
