Not sure what to say?

Another year. Miss your smiling face.

I love keeping up with your family but miss your smiling face. Watch over them and know you are loved.

I am so sorry to hear about Mike. He was a sweet man full of humor and life and I am sorry to hear he passed this year. I only wish known and had the time to say "Goodbye".

Still find it hard to believe. Mike always had my back and provided good advice and insight. He made tough times bearable. I miss him. My deepest condolences to Lisa and family.

I remain in shock for Mike was an institution. I fondly remember 30 years ago in little Joe's group; the pony tail, the '86 strike.
Lisa, live in the memories and honor the time you had together. Condolences and strength to you daily. Remember Mike now is fine as frog hair.

Dear Mike & Family .. I lost a friend in the fix-it world. And one who told me retirement is not such a bad gig. I never expected it would be so short. Go in peace my friend.

I met Mike during the 1986 AT&T strike. I admired his spirit and fire for the things he believed in. I know he made his place of work much more tolerable for his co-workers. I worked with Richard in North District, I remember them both fondly and send condolences to his family. When I flasback to the 86 strike, I think of his passion for fairness and spirit of his intentions for the betterment of all workers. His light will not be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mike's family. Mike was my AT&T dad. He always knew how to cheer me up or make fun of my shoes or tell me that I didn't know how to cook (because his way was always better!). I'll never forget our morning coffee chats and that old coffee mug he used EVERY day. Good times! I'll miss you. "Talleyho" (sp)

I had the pleasure of working under Mike many years ago at AT&T. I can honestly say... at first I did not know what to make of this outspoken Texan. Me being a New Yorker, Or City Slicker he called me :) But boy did he very quickly grow on you....always a wealth of knowledge and willing to lend a hand or guide...or just a funny joke to make you laugh. He will be missed. My Deepest Condolences to his wife Lisa and family. May he rest in peace in the best hunting and fishing grounds heaven has...
