This was such beautiful tribute to Michael. It is evident that he was an ultimate gentleman and that he made a special mark in the lives of all that had the pleasure of knowing him. Our deepest condolences to the Nugent Family.

who has been there all my life. I am not sure when I last saw him, but we have talked frequently on the phone. I have known that he is just a phone call away and always there with his humor, sane view of life and good advice, as well as his stories and reminiscences of India. Who will tell us these things now? He is so much missed. less

Michael guided me with a sure hand in regard to balance sheets, banking relationships, the correct use of "which" versus "that”, the appropriate syllable to emphasize when ordering lamb vindaloo, in keeping the grip ahead of the hands for short chips, whom to pour first when the good wine was offered (ladies first), and countless other ways. We spoke weekly over the phone through all these years, and there is not a soul on the planet who could be more engaging in conversation. Our business continues on, but a huge piece of our soul and spirit as a company are missing. I cannot adequately express how much I miss Michael every day. My wife Shelly and I are sending our love to Maureen and the rest of Michael’s family and circle of friends. His entire Napa Valley crew are also sending their love and prayers. We miss you Michael. less
At my parent's wedding in 1955. Uncle Michael was full of wisdom, he told me once that life is filled with 'woulda, coulda, shoulda's'- don't dwell. So wise and so missed.
