I worked for Mike's Machine Tool Division in Lansing for about 10 years. I always respected Mike and always felt respected by him. I enjoyed Mike's humor and enjoyed working for him. I truly feel sorry for Mike's family and I hope that you soon look back upon your memories of Mike with joy instead of the grief of your loss.

When Mike entered those Pearly Gates, Motown music was playing throughout Heaven and he "Strolled" right on in. Mike may have moved the venue...but those of us left behind will never, ever forget him. He was always one of those guys that you just had to love, & we always will.

To my dear Adams family. This message is for each of you that shared a precious piece of your life with me. I love you all dearly, and am deeply saddened by the passing of Mike. He was a special man to me; my father away from home. A man who took me in and treated me just like one of his own. Knowing him was indeed my pleasure, for he was truly a GIFT from God. I will always love y'all, and pray that y'all have peace and many lovely memories.... "Bama"
