I can't say enough about this man. He was one of the first people I befriended when I worked at Hi-Stat. He had a way about him that made you feel comfortable to talk with. I remember talking with him about nature, photography, art, music, and his awesome steel guitar. No matter what mood he was in, I was always greeted with his smile. I hope he can rest peacefully now, knowing he will be missed.

Who could ever forget Mike Dowd. I worked with him decades ago and I can see his smile like it was yesterday. He was an old soul, the most kind, interesting person I've ever met. We talked about his amazing art pieces. I know he is walking among the angels. The world lost a great person. Sending all my best to his family.

Mike was always one of my favorite people when we worked together at Hi Stat. He had such a unique, creative outlook on life. He was very inspiring. You and Kevin are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Tim, Patrick, Kathy, Christopher,
I am so saddened to have just heard from Aunt Chris about the premature loss of your brother Michael. I have so many cherished childhood memories of the family reunions, always charged with laughter and the most wonderful sense of camaraderie. Sending you all strength, love and hugs.
