Mike passed away in 2001 with cancer. Although Mike didn't graduate with the class of 1971, we wanted to include him since he spent many years as a part of our class. Mike resided in Champaign, IL and was a member of the well known band Champaign. His song "How Bout Us" is being added to the playlist.

Michael Day
BLOOMINGTON - Michael A. Day, 48, of Champaign, a Bloomington native, died Thursday (June 7, 2001) at his homePhillip Stearns
Knew Mike some. Met him through my brother Kevin if I remember correctly. Kevin dis some recordings at Mike's music/sound store in Champaign. In fact, I think it was Mike that recorded Kevin's music tribute about police officers, in-reference to my days as one, because he worried so much about my safety back then. Nice guy.

I was reintroduced to Mike and his wife Rena at a great retreat in 1998 when they played and sang for our group. At the time they were both very religious, so I know that he was in the right place at his death. I still see Rena occasionally and know that he is missed!
