Not sure what to say?

We had the privilege of knowing John while our son was applying for school. He was kind thoughtful and personable. We feel that John gave a great deal to our sons path in life. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. The Gorecki Family

It was the summer after my 8th grade year when Mike called me to let me know that he had decided to overturn a previous decision of the admissions staff to refuse me admission to Culver. I needed a break, and Mike gave me that break, a kindness that profoundly changed the trajectory of my life.

Mike, I will always be grateful for the opportunity you gave me. Thank you.

As a classmate of Mike's, I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Of the many memories I have of Mike during our HS years in Northville, I will always remember him as a terrific teammate, gifted both academically and athletically and a humble leader.

He will be missed!
