A bench has been dedicated in Mike Rinder’s honor—a place for families to connect, to reflect, and to remember those they love.

Mike’s greatest wish was to end Scientology’s cruel disconnection policy, to help families find their way back to each other.

This bench is meant to be a space where people can sit, think, and, hopefully, reconnect with loved ones.

Whether you live in Clearwater or are just visiting, I hope this spot brings comfort and reflection.

Christie Collbran Rinder (Mike’s wife), Claire Headley, and I chose the perfect spot—a place where people can pause and honor the ones they’ve lost or those they still hope to reunite with.

In loving memory of my dear friend and brother, and a friend to so many—my Mikey.

A heartfelt thank-you to the City of Clearwater, FL, for helping make this possible.
