Your family is in our prayers, Mike and dad and I have been friends for over 25 yrs or more. He was so much more than a parts counter man, he was the type friend who always had a smile, a wise crack , but he also show compassion when he saw a friend hurting. He will always be sadly missed and never replaced in our hearts. May GOD be with you and the family during this time. Rons Auto Service, 3921Campbell ave. Ron Perry Sr and Ron Jr

Sue~and family,
I am so sad to hear about Mike. You all have my love and support during your tremendous loss. I have quite a few wonderful stories and memories to share about my nearly 30 year friendship with Mike. He has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I have ever known and I will always remember him for the generosity and fun times we had.
May you be comforted in knowing Mike is probably still helping folks and making them laugh like he did with us while we shared his life here.
God bless and comfort you always.
