In Memory of Mike Regina: 8/3/1966 - 1/6/05
January 7th, 2005Michael A. Regina is a co-worker of mine who passed away shortly after the new year. Even on New Years he sent me a text message to my cell phone wishing me a happy new year, and hopes that my future proposal to my girlfriend would go well. For the last year, he’s been telling me the “proper” American formalities with proposals for marriage, since I’m the first born Korean-American in my family. Basically, I wanted to do everything right, and in this way, he was not only a friend and a co-worker, but was much like an older brother, or even like a 2nd father in some sense. We even talked about going on fishing trips on his boat sometime in the coming summer. He will be greatly missed. This one’s for you Mike. I’ll never forget you bro!
