Mike was part of our fellowship group when our children were babies. That is over 18 years ago. Also would see him at Safeway. He was a great guy. Praying for his family. May God provide all you need. Love, The Hubbles

Michael always had a big smile along with a great sense of humor. If you were having a bad day he would try to cheer you up. Everytime I hear Alan Jacksons song about the Twin Towers I think of Michael. We were working together when the news broke and it was comforting to have him there. Heaven gained an awesome angel.
