I didn't know Mike. But I knew about him through his son Neil. I think that anybody who gave life to Neil did a great job and that is part of Mikes legacy he leaves. God Bess all of his family and friends.

Dear Barbara and family,
What a total shock to hear of Mike's passing. 67 is way to young to loose someone you love. I can never think of your family without remembering Mike's Dad, My Dad and Warren Bodge and all the fun they had back in the old days. May he rest in peace and may you all find solace in your memories.

We were so shocked at Mike's sudden passing. It is hard to believe he won't be puttering around the cottage and stopping by for a visit. We very much enjoyed his company.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help now or at anytime in the future.
Sincerely,
Ron, Sharon and Katie Holmes
