The details are rather sketchy at the moment, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m waiting to hear back about funeral arrangements and such.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what to say. Even though Mike and I spoke many times over the phone and email and even collaborated on a local news blog (Corpus Christi Bay News), I never had the opportunity to meet him in person. I can say that he was an honorable, stand-up guy that I would have been honored to play a round of golf with. My prayers go with his family in their time of grief.<\/p>\n<p>To Mike: may God welcome you into His loving arms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If true, I find it ironic but heartening that the current quote at the top of Bunker&#8217;s blog is the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8212;Mark Twain.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE:  Alas!
