To everyone at BHI, thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry there wasn't more contact. Dad was very stoic and private and didn't want to be fussed over. His ashes will be scattered in the Pecos mountains to roam with Dicky and the rest of the Zummach clan. I love you dad. I'm going to miss my movie buddy. A Memorial Service for Michael will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2003 at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel of Sunrise Funeral Options with Pastor Rick Donaho as officiant.
