My sincerest sympathy to Michael's family. I remember Mike both from pilgrimages we took with St Cyril & St Methodius Church and as the drummer in the choir. Now that we are living in PA, it took a while to hear of his death. We were shocked and saddened, May God comfort and strengthen his family.

I met Michael many years ago when I sang at the St. Cyril 11am choir. I will remember Michael as a friendly and talented musician. I remember him when he came to my apt. each year for a "trim a tree" Christmas Party with the choir members. He always entertained us with his music. Now he is entertaining the angels and saints in heaven. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss. When I learned of the news in Tn. from a NY friend I was shocked. He will be missed by many. I pray that you will find peace and the memories of him will bring you comfort in your time of sorrow.

I met Mike when I joined the DPFD band many years ago.
I remember thinking what a nice guy he was.
May he play the bells in Heaven.

Michael,
I am sure you are at peace now. I know you will be missed by your family, friends, and former co-workers, myself included. You are one of the most thoughtful people I have known.
Until we meet again,
Lori

Mike and I tried to put a music act together a few years ago, which couldn't seem to gel. I am so shocked and sorry to read about his passing. Strange thing is that God put him on my heart last week and I began to pray and intercede for him. I know the Lord honored my prayer and Mike is praising and worshipping the Lord for all eternity along with the 24 elders around the Throne of Grace and Mercy. My sincere condolonces to his family. I know there are no words of consolation that will be enough for you. I pray that the Lord send the best source of comfort to you, the Holy Spirit who is the divine comforter. God Bless you.

For a while the tired body
To its resting place its borne
Soul and body reunited, Thenceforth
nothing shall divide.

Michael will be missed, and now we know that he is in a better place. He was always pleasent to me, and made sure to stop by to say hello, and discuss music.

I am sure we all have our favorite 'Mike' story, and by keeping these memories of him will keep him with us. My deepest sympathies go to his family and friends

Michael- Often when you would come by to talk to me, you would be a ray of sunshine that I would need in what would sometimes be a chaotic day. You will be terribly missed. I hope that the after life brings you the peace and happiness you so deserve.

We are so sorry to hear about Mike. He was a wonderful guy. Always willing to lend an ear. He was a great musician. I am sure God has him playing for him now.

You will surely be missed, Mike. It was a pleasure knowing you, and playing the bells with you in the Deer Park Fire Dept. Band. I know that the church will miss your musical talents as well. I know you are playing for God now, and he knows what a special man you really are. Bryan and I wish to send our sincere sympathy to your family and friends.

I will miss you Mike.
No matter where you were, or what you were doing, you always made it a point to stop and say hello to me.
You are surely missed by me.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. I enjoyed speaking with Michael when he worked at Forest and thought he was very talented with his music and his love of the church and yet how extremely humble he was of his talent. May God watch over your family.
