Not sure what to say?

Mary I'm thinking of all of you and can only hold you dear. Mike is at peace now. You have many beautiful memories with him to hold on to. Please take care and know that you are blessed

I’ve known Mike since we were kids. He spent countless hours playing basketball at Oakland Park in Pontiac and Saint Michael’s Catholic school had a great basketball team during his time there.
Then meeting back up with him in Law Enforcement. He was a good guy to have on your side & never heard a bad word about him.
My thoughts are with his family




Mike, we were good friends for 61 years. I knew I could always depend on you during good times and difficult times. Which reminds me years ago . Sam , your dog came into the house after being sprayed by a skunk. The smell was horrible. In your wisdom you pondered the problem for a few minutes and came up with a solution. You said, "I have an old bottle of enlish leather upstairs." You retrieved the bottle and doused SAM with English. LEATHER. It was a brilliant solution that solved...

So sad to hear this, Mike was a regular at Ryan’s Barbershop. Mike worked with Paul palace, a longtime barber here.
Mike always cared how we we doing, such a kind man.
He will be missed by all!

I worked with Mike several years at the PPD. Mike was one of the best Officers on the Pontiac Police Department. We worked together on the road and undercover in the Narcotics and Vice Section. Mike was very fair with everyone as a Supervisor and also very fair with people that ran afoul of the Law.
Mike was liked by everyone on and off the Police Department. Mike will be greatly missed by all. Prayers for the entire Pope Family.
