I am a resident at Glenn Riddle Station Apts and have been for close to forty years. I will miss Mike, dearly. He was always quick to respond to my phone calls for help, with the bathroom, my air conditioning, and heater, or porch door or just changing a light bulb. He was skilled, intuitive, friendly, always, with a smile and a friendly Hello in the parking lot. I offer my prayers and condolences to you--He was a terrific man, hardworking, and congenial. He is in God's hands now, and looking down on us with that special smile of his. Be strong--He will be in our hearts forever. A Resident: Judie Roman

We were grief-stricken when we learned about Mike's passing. For so many years he was the tireless force behind Glen Riddle's maintenance department and when he started calling me for the bigger HVAC issues, I quickly felt fortunate for the opportunity to work with him and become friends as well. He was a great person and will be missed a lot.
Our condolences to his beloved family, his friends and co-workers. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. With our deepest sympathies,

Bill Dalahan & Christine

My family and I have been residents of Glen Riddle for 5 years and loved Mike dearly. He was caring, diligent, and hard working. Mike would drop everything, regardless of day or time, to make sure our family was safe and taken care of. We will miss our daily chats, hellos, waves. To Mike's family and our Glen Riddle family, please accept our sincere condolences.

my wife and I only moved into the glen riddle apartments only 9 months ago and mike came twice once for the heater and once for the washer in our unit. He was able to fix them both.I got to talk to him both times and each time I got the feeling that I had known him for many years he just put you at ease when you talked to him. My wife and I are very sad at learning of mike's premature passing. He will be great'ly missed.Rest in peace Mike.

My wife and I are residents at Glen Riddle Station apt.s and Mike always had a smile and a wave. One early morning, about 4 am, we woke up to a bat hanging over our heads in the bedroom! It must of came in through the vent. We called emergency maintenance and within 20 minutes, Mike was there and he gently removed it and let it go in the wooded area. I will miss the red truck pulling in and his wave. He also used to watch me take photos of the trees and wildflowers. One day, he said, is there something in there? We both had a laugh and he would smile every time he saw me click away. Our condolences to his family and loved ones. He will be missed. Marjorie and Millie, Apt. F2
