I am so sorry that Mike has passed from this life. My life was so rewarded by being able to call him my friend and my partner. I will greatly miss him.
I have always admired Mike and his sharp mind, and his ability to calmly analyze issues. I thoroughly enjoyed being with Mike and listening to the calm manner in which he discussed any matter. Mike had much better control in discussions and arguments on issues than I ever could muster! I distinctly remember how Mike would always respond Now, hold on . . . and then he would calmly state some viewpoint or rationalization that would wrap my brain into a pretzel and cause me to rethink the matter. I so respected Mike's legal knowledge and analytical ability.
I also greatly respected Mike for his devotion to his family and the Lord. I will never forget the many times I saw Mike caring for and carrying Ann. I never heard a single complaint from either of them and they both always had a huge smile on their faces and a positive attitude. Mike accepted the trials and burdens and carried on in his life. I know that as soon as Mike entered Heaven, Ann ran to great him, and said to him wait until you see the place Jesus has prepared for you!
Mike's children are unquestionably very well prepared for life as he gave given them a tremendous and ideal legacy and upbringing. I know he is very proud and satisfied. Mike's life has been very exemplary, virtuous, and honorable. Mike was a complete and fruitful servant, as a man, as a father, as a husband, as a lawyer, as a partner, as a citizen, and as a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mike ran a great race and finished to hear his Lord and Savior say Well done, my good and faithful servant! Just as the Scriptures tell us that Jesus rose from his seat next to God to receive Stephen as he was being stoned to death, I envision Jesus also rising to give Mike a standing ovation.
While those of us greatly mourn Mike's passing and will miss him, I know he is saying to us Don't mourn for me. All is well . . . all is well with my soul.
