Hello my name is Angela..I met Mike in a very trying time of my life ..I lost my mom to cancer in 2018 and my home was destroyed by tornado in 2019 . Mike came along and embraced me and my grandkids and my kids . I tried to remain in touch with him through his health ordeal. He never told me how bad it was. I don't know what Mike was like in his younger yrs. But the Mike that I met and knew was a kind and caring man . He was a true friend and had a great since of humor..oh he had jokes. I really wish he would have given me a chance to say see you later.. I watched him earn his wings ..Fly high my good friend.

Michael will truly be missed. I played many a year of softball with Mike. He was a good friend not only to me, but everyone on our Slyders Team. Mike enjoyed playing and he was a joy to have on the team. Back in those days it was a family thing. So all of our families hug together. He helped me back on my first home I had built, selecting flooring as well. Mike and I lost contact the last 20 yrs. But I will never forget him. He was a true friend! Rest In Peace My Friend! I am sorry we lost contact over the years, I will Pray for your Peace!
