It is hard to believe it has been 10 years. Mike was such a great guy! I remeber how truely genuine he was. When he asked how you were doing it wasn't small talk, he really wanted to know. Mike was a very good friend of my dads and considered him a friend of the family. He is very much missed and loved.

Michael, you were such a kind gentle person who always made me feel so special. You always told me how beautiful I looked. I regret that I didn't get to know you on a more personal level. You will be missed very much.

It meant so much to our family how he took care of us when we lost our Dad. Even more, that he remained a friend to our Mom and would reach out with genuine concern. This type of heart is not seen often and is not needed more than in his line of work. He had a way of being a little bit of light into a dark time. He will be greatly missed in so many ways.

Mike,
You were one of a kind, a gentle caring and fun-loving man, with that great grin. You were a joy to be around, and always going out of your way to show your care and concern, love and support. I will be forever grateful for the loving way that you took care of every detail when Myron passed away. Jamille and Ashley and family, our hearts are with you during this very sad time. Mike leaves behind so many friends... His life was a gift to so many, and he made such a difference in the lives of so many people. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
On behalf of all of us at TIHAN, Mike--we love you and will miss you.

Michael was there to emotionally support me,when I lost my husband. I wish I could be there for you in this tragedy. Mike called and offered to come and visit after one of my surgeries. Mike was the most caring,uplifting,gracious,faithful friend anyone could have. Today I grieve because I have lost a dear friend. I know the celebration and reunion in Heaven of those gone before,but I carry a "Mike" shaped hole in my heart today. Only the promise to see him again someday gives me comfort. You will NEVER be forgotten Mike. The world is a better place because you were in it, and my life is better for having known you. You will be missed! Rest easy now as we who loved you,await our time to reunite again with you.

I worked with Mike at SCI during the '90's. He was a great Funeral Director and friend. He was one of the most honorable men I knew and stood up for some of us when we went through a bad time there. I try to live up to his example always.
My condolences to his family and friends. I will miss him.

My deepest sympathy to all that knew & loved Michael. Jamille, Ashley & Susan There is never a good time to loose a father or special person that has been a part of your life. Just take comfort in knowing you are in the thoughts and prayers of all your friends.

I still have some roses dried from a dozen white ones he gave me. I remember sitting with him in Church, I remember hilarious parties. I was always shy so his presence always comforted me. I have already missed him for a long time and now when we return Tucson he won't be there.
But I have good memories that will never fade.
