IF we could measure his heart, we would find a Giant. A lively spirit always encompassed his personality; ... a sense of humor; all of this and so much more. ... A very big part of Old Maynard, "Mike was one of us." My sincere conolences to Elaine and the entire family.

Elaine & Family,
My thoughts are with you in this time of loss. Mike was a life long friend from grade 1 at Coolidge School throughout our adult life. He was my holder for kicking field goals and extra points in high school. My success in kicking never would have happened without Mike practicing each day before practice, with me. He was a true friend for life and I will miss him dearly. Herb Symes
