Lynnette, Both Robin and I are very sorry to hear about Mike. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I lost touch with Mike many years ago and we both went different ways in life. But, it looks like we both had four children. I'm sure Mike loved his family very much and will be missed by all of you.
I remember a night when Mike was at my house and he told my mother that his mom said "he could only have one beer that night" so he had a two liter bottle of Root Beer. We all thought it was funny knowing Mike and I at that time in our lives. Mike's pictures looks great and just the way I remember him.
Please pass on our condolences to everyone.

I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing, I'm in shock. Mike taught me how to tape sheetrock and play Age of Empires. I'm addicted to that game! Mike and I had great times taping and listening to all that great classic country on WVAL 800 AM out of St. Cloud. Once and while he'd try and dance a little to some of those tunes on his stilts, and it usually ended in a bad way! But what a laugh we'd have. He was a great guy and will be deeply missed. Prayers to Lynette and your family.

I was Mike's chemotherapy nurse and I ADORED him. It has been very very difficult for me to learn of his passing. I only knew Mike for a short period of time but I had a immediate connection with him.I was so fortunate to have seen and gotten a HUGE hug from him the day before he died. Lynette and family-you are in my thoughts and prayers. You are wonderful family and please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Lynnette and Family....I'm so sorry about your husband Mike... It is never easy when a loved one passes on before their time...buttt know there's strength in your family and friends and in God... When I look to the sky tonight...I'll see another Star watching over us...Your Star Lynnette....your Mike. There's a Poem/movie called The Dash...I'd like you to watch http://www.lindaellis.net/dashmovieend.htm and know with all your heart that it's not the date of birth or date of death that is the measure of a persons life...it's that little Dash that holds those dates together that means so much. Love and Hugs and Prayers

To the family of Mike. Words cannot describe the feeling Mike left with each person that he came in contact with. What a very special man you had in your life and what special memories you will cherish of him always and forever. Nobody can take away the pain or the hurt that you are feeling right now, but I wanted you to know how sorry I am, and the rest of the staff that worked with Mike. What a great man who always had a smile and a handshake for anyone. You are all in our thoughts and prayers along with Mike. God bless you in this very difficult time.

Lynnette and family. I was so totally shocked to see that Mike had passes away. We think about you often and miss you. There is nothing anyone can say to make this time easier on you. But know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, today and always. Email me if possible and we can exchange numbers. I'd love to see you again. ([email protected])
