Krista Ovist
I got to know Mike in his Baywoods days. He was a great friend to my mom, Bev Ovist, a fellow Baywoods resident, and when mom had a stroke in May of 2010 he became a great friend to me too. I live in London (UK), but spent many anxious weeks at Baywoods that summer, unsure whether mom would recover. Through it all, Mike was a tremendous support, always ready to lend a sympathetic ear, drive me anywhere I needed to go, and of course, mix me a martini. Mom pulled through and Mike remained her loyal friend, despite her diminished mobility and increasing short-term memory problems. He always treated her like a lady, and she thrived in his company. We will both miss Mike, a true officer and a gentleman.
