Michael was not only my brother in law but also my best friend. I miss our days at Gulf Greyhound. We would sometimes go in on a bet and once we split a $2000.00 win. I miss him every day.
Linda you are such a strong woman the way you have persevered through the hard times without Mike.
He will always be irreplaceable.

I considered Lock a close friend shortly after his moving to Comanche. Playing sports with and showing Lock the fun of the great outdoors is a past life I will always cherish. Lock had a God given ability as an athelete, and a fun loving spirit for most anything (sometimes a little boastful), but always a true friend. I will never forget him as a baseball and basketball standout or our along with Dirk, swimming against the current to the concrete pedestals behind Lake Proctor damn to fish for...

Michael was a very special and loving member of our Family. I have no idea how hard this past year has been for you, Louanne and Damian. He would be so proud of you in how you have conducted business and financial matters and issues.
The three of you are forever in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Diane

Michael, I love and miss you more and more each day. The following poem expresses my feelings so well.
The moment that you died
My heart was torn in two,
One side filled with heartache,
The other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep, and
Take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But missing you is heartache
That never goes away.
I hold you...
