We feel fortunate to have had Mike's friendship, he always had a smile on his face and projected his positive attitude. Jan and Joannie, we know you have him with you in your hearts just as we enjoy our memories of times with him. We send our love to you and your family.

I was a T.A. for Mr. Heron for a couple of years in the 70's. He definitely was one of my favorite teachers and favorite people; he was very good to me and my sister, Dede and taught us many life lessons. I also babysat for him and Janice when Joanie was just a little thing. They forgave me when I nearly burned down his kitchen making popcorn one night! Jan and Joanie, my thoughts and prayers are with you. He was a wonderful man and will be missed...

Janice & Joan, Mike was such a fun and loving person that I'm sure you will him miss greatly. I remember his sense of humor especially around Norman and teasing Mildred. I always left with a pain in my side from laughing so hard. He always had that funny little grin that perked up your day.

Jan and Joan - Our deepest sympathies on your great loss. We say " Great" because Mike was a GREAT person. I really enjoyed working with him as athletic director and as rival coaches in softball. I thank the good Lord for having given me the opportunity to have known him and his family. He will be missed.

I was sorry to hear of Mike's passing. We were close friends through Jr High and High School - unfortunately we lost touch until this years 50th reunion planning. Had hoped that we might renew our friendship. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Gary & Beryl Kerr

I was lucky enough to have had Mr. Heron as a teacher, and a coach. I even babysat for Joanie many moons ago. Coach booted me off the team my jr. year and it was one of my most valuable lessons in life..the next year I knew I best listen to Coach Heron..One of my favs of his words of wisdom was, "you can lead a horse to water but a pencils always lead'". You will be missed by many.

Jan and Joan,
I was so sorry to read of Mike's passing. The next few months will be difficult but you will always have the loving memories you shared together which eases the pain of your loss.

Jan, Joan, and family - Sure sad to hear of Mike's passing. I always enjoyed seeing him and he always had a great joke or funny story to share. I remember so many times when he was IHS AD when he had to call this Water Polo coach to say, "Erik....We've Got a Problem!". I was a young coach, but he always brought me back in line...and in a loving way. A SUPER guy. God Bless.

Now I know that dedicating the chip convention to Mike was the right thing to do. The last time I spoke with him was the day after; someone had called him and told him I'd done that- and he was so happy.
That's how I'll remember him. Happy and intelligent. I'm lucky to have called him friend.
