So sorry for your loss. I met Mike at the Post Office in Plainfield when I was Postmaster. He loved to stop in to tell me he was headed out on a fishing trip to the Great Lake. He knew I loved to fish and hunt and was always full of great stories. So glad you are celebrating his life. Prayers and good thoughts to you and your family.

Mike, we grew up close to each other, played ball together, our Dad's worked together, then lost track of each other until Facebook. You and I had some good discussions about various issues. But, even when we did not agree, our friendship came through without a blemish. GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND.

Mike was a great friend and fishing partner. He was the first mate on my charter boat. Clients loved his wit and humor. The world has lost one of the greatest people I know. Fish On Fish Man!

Mike was so welcoming to me when I moved back to Plainfield and bought my parents home. He would frequently stop to say hi & chat as he drove by & if I was outside. He was so interesting and always had a positive word. I was so thrilled when he offered me the antique Vermont Department of Taxes sign with the stipulation that I hang it up. It went up that day he gave it to me & will hang there forever. Think of you Mike every day & every time I see it. People so get a kick out of it & I tell them how I came about having it & your great service to our state. Haven't received any payments though Rest In Peace, Mike!

I remember Mike as a great managerial colleague, fishing companion and friend. I know from our many years of working together of his intelligence, devotion to excellence and utmost integrity. I admired him as a person of many talents - throughly dedicated to his family and country, and of fine disposition - a man of energy, humor, compassion and generosity. Albeit of many talents, Mike was the most dedicated and savvy salmon fisherman I have ever known. He will be sorely missed.

Mike and I were tennis partners for many years in the 90's and the 2000's years. He was a great guy to hang out with and we had some great matches. I was sad when he could no longer play tennis due to a serious injury but he was philosophical about it and said he would have lots of fun going fishing instead of playing tennis.
Thanks for all the great memories, Mike. Ken Feld

To Grandpa Mike,
I will always have very special place for you in my heart. You were my one and only Grandpa. I loved every moment spent with you, especially out doors. My love for you cannot be expressed in words. I will miss you, always but never forget you.

Mike was a distant cousin of mine and friend. I can still see him standing on the mound for the Lions in Little League. Sounds like he lived a wonderful life. Rest in peace.

Mike was President of our class: Brattleboro Union HS 1963. I reconnected with him in preparation for our 50th Reunion and have enjoyed many subsequent discussions and arguments with him on Facebook. Condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Mike. The rest of us are coming before too long.

Mike was everybody's "neighbor" and I considered him a good friend. He and I used to play pool at Jimmy's several times a week during our lunch break when we both worked at AOT. I have lots of happy memories of Mike, truly a really good guy.
