Our Villa Pointe neighbors will greatly miss Mike. He was so kind and served as our Board President. Mike was always willing to help us solve any problem promptly, including the removal of a crazy squirrel trying to make a nest in my attic! We loved him and share your grief.
Thank you for planning a beautiful funeral service.

Mike was the best neighbor ever; His Kindness and thoughtfulness was exceptional every trash day he would bring my trash container to my garage door faithfully every week through every season. My heart hurts for his family & his grandchildren that meant the world. My Sincere condolences. Barbara Waddell
