My deepest condolences to the Sabol family. Mike and Gerry were very special people. I had the privilege of working with Mike at the JCP store in Canton. He was always a positive person and found the best in every situation. After retirement Mike and Gerry joined the HCSC Club of JCP retirees and was active there. He will be greatly missed. R.I.P. my dear friends.

I was greatly saddened to hear about the loss of Mike and I am saddened that I won't be able to attend today's services for Mike and Gerry because of some recent health issues I have. Mike took over for me as president of the Akron Canton PC Users Group and he did fine and inspiring job. During those times I was just amazed that Mike was almost 20 years my senior and yet he looked like he was in better shape than I am. With his friendly smile and warm demeanor Mike was the kind of guy you just couldn't help but like. For several years Mike and I traded emails that were lively discussions of national politics. He and I were at the opposite ends of the political spectrum and I hope he knows how many times he got me to smile at one of those emails he sent. Hopefully he got to smile at some of those that I sent back to him without too much irritation. May the Lord our God welcome you and your wife into His kingdom and see firsthand that warm smile as he embraces you and your wife.I salute you MikeDave Bohm
