Michael, can't believe that a text or call won't suddenly come from you. Will miss your take on current events and people. Much love to a favorite cousin. Rest in peace.

I worked with Mike @ BM&Co. for many years and enjoyed sharing the bi-monthly Monday luncheons when ex employees gathered. A warm, caring man with a big heart, Mike was special and we all were blessed to have shared so many happy times with him. My condolences to his family.

On the outside he looked like an ordinary man living an ordinary life. If you were lucky enough to call him friend you knew what an extraordinary person he was. Always uplifting,caring,helpful and very loyal. He taught us how to fight life's hardships with a great attitude and gratitude for the good things in life. Rest in peace dear friend...
