John and I are so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. You and your family are in our prayers.
I had the privilege and honor of caring for Mike. He was so pleasant and always talked about Laurie, how they met and that he had a good life. He always listened to others views without being judgemental and he was sensitive towards others. We enjoyed our last day together at Noyes; we laughed, cried and shared a wonderful experience together just before he passed. He truly touched my life and I will miss you Mike.
Mr. & Mrs. Richard Smith send you and family our condolences. He was a very kind man.
Laurie and family, I am sorry to hear of Mike’s passing, he will be sorely missed by many. We worked together many years ago and lost touch, but I often thought about him and the good times we had together. He was a good honorable man.
You and your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Laurie and family,
My sincere condolences for your loss. Sending love and prayers your way.
Slainte, my dear brother, to a full life well lived. You leave quite a legacy! In my mind you are always my fuzzy haired big bro with his brush cut, brimming with energy and sports and other activities. Often in trouble with mom or dad. Playground fights, debates with dad, all boy! Or resting in front of the TV, watching all those darned 1950s westerns. Your parents adored you and so do I. I still watch those old westerns and still can recite your 2nd grade limerick about Timbuktu, where there are “such nice things to do. ” Well done!
Laurie, so sorry to hear of Michaels passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss! He was always kind to me. I didn’t get to know him until a month before his passing. Looking forward to seeing him again on earth in the paradise! He was very loved by all who knew him and especially his wife and children and grandchildren
