Mike and I became friends in 1993 when we were both hired at the Spring Air Co. That became a lifelong friendship. He was a "tremendous" guy, common sensical, humor full and a real kind human being. I miss our phone conversations that we had monthly since we both retired. I loved Mike and miss him dearly.

Mike and I served in Vietnam together. We have been back in touch for the last several years. He was a brave man and worked behind enemy lines. I shall miss him. My condolences to his family.

Mike and I met 35 years ago in our neighborhood here at the Ranch. We enjoyed many years of parties and hanging out with our families. Of course, we also spent countless weekends playing golf. Golf became a focal point for all of us that lived in the neighborhood. We would take trips to the mountain golf courses of Colorado, sometimes with the guys and sometimes with our wives. But we always had great times full of wonderful memories, too numerous to tell. When we all turned 60, we started the 60's tour with annual trips to Florida for Tom, Dick and Harry . This picture shows the four of us at a bar in Jacksonville one night, smoking cigars, drinking beer and laughing. Those were the best of times. We lost Dick in 2015 and now Mike. So it is just down to Tom and I. I will truly miss Mike's wit and political commentary. But most of all I will miss Mike. Via con Dios my friend.

My wife Maddi and I met Mike and family 35 years ago. Wasn't long before he and I became best friends. We usually talked weekly if not more often, depending on topics of interest, which Mike had many, so I was on the phone alot. We got together as often as we could, many times traveling on business we would met halfway for dinner-Albuquerque, Chicago, back East, didn't matter. Where our paths crossed, we'd make it happen. Mike loved his family more than anything in the world. He enjoyed his friends and really enjoyed working at Sawgrass and the TPC. Mike just loved life and lived every minute of it. Our condolences to the family. He will be missed. Tom

I only knew Michael through his daughter Devon. The way she cherished her relationship with him spoke volumes about the kind of person and father that he was. May you Rest In Peace Michael and know that we will all be here for Devon in your absence.

Mike was a truly wonderful man. While only working together for a few years, we became lifelong friends. He was a strong, opinionated guy that was never afraid to speak his mind. You never had to guess what Mike was thinking. The last few years we often engaged on Facebook and shared similar views of this crazy world. Rest In Peace brother!! Until we meet again, Love Dave
