He was very devoted and loved all of his friends deeply. He was a real "character" and was an absolutely hysterical story teller, had an amazing personality and was a real jokester. Mike had a place on the river in Evart, MI, where he loved spending his summers fishing with his beloved friends.He had an impeccable bond with his sister, Pat. His brother, Jim, was a founding member of CABS and Mike enjoyed hanging out with him at many blues events. His children were the light of his life, his everything, his world. That love was more than reciprocated by them.

Surviving are his children, John Seiler, Jamie Flynn-Donth, Jimmy Flynn, Jena Flynn-Poirer, and Christopher Flynn; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; partner, Roberta; sister, Pat Cutler; one niece, Christine; and his two favorite cats, Suzie and Gummy. He was preceded in death by his parents; loving brother, Jim; niece, Michelle and several of his life-long Eastsider friends.
