Mike was a very dear friend of mine back in high school. We would talk on the phone for hours. He was always so thoughtful and caring. Years later when my father passed away he and his wife came to show he still cared. I remember his warm and friendly smile and his sincere listening heart. I know he loved his family very much. You are in my thought and prayers.

Uncle Mike's smile was louder than his voice and even from across a room he could make you feel like he was especially glad you were there. I will miss his gentle humor and big laugh. We are thinking of and praying for each of you.
