NABO president Jean Flesher wrote: It's with incredible sadness that I share with you all the news of the passing of Michel Plaa. A member of the Chino, California Basque community, he was very well known and very well liked. He was one of my heroes, an immigrant from Iparralde or the northern Basque Country who came here to have a better life and through hard work, he found the American dream. An avid mus player, he went to many of the tournaments in Southern California and even Nevada and when I'd see him, he always had time to have a drink with me or to sit down and chat for a while. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends may he rest in peace. Gure dolumin haundienak bere familiari eta bere laguner. Jinkoak bere lorian daukala.
