Not sure what to say?

Thinking about you, dear colleague and friend. Thank you for all your wonderful analyzation, humor and kindness. We need more of you in our field. I am sure you are entertaining all those in your new & heavenly world! Hugs, Nancy

Mike was a great attorney, friend and mentor. He helped many people and his memory endures. I miss him and think of him all the time.

I can still hear Mike's opening line, "When I was a young man..." followed with a wonderful tale of his travels around the world as a merchant seaman. He had such an engaging way of sharing cultures and experiences with us. May he rest in peace.

Thinking of you Uncle Mike. I miss you very much and will never forget how you taught me to experience everything the world has to offer and leave the planet a better place than you found it.

Met Mike his first day as a public defender. I asked him to cover for me in court and without hesitation agreed. He was a gentleman and a good friend. God Bless you! lyn hall

My Uncle Mike was one of the most interesting and kindest people I ever met. He taught me so much and will continue to inspire me for years to come. I'll never forget his funny stories, insight into the world around him and the love he showed me and all the other members of our family. I miss him very much.

May you find comfort in the memories that Michael has left with you and his family. We played together as cousins with he his sister Eileen.
Grew up and Moved on crossing paths at family events both happy and sad.
With Loving Sympathy

what a great cousin. we grew up together and than went our separate ways but always respecting each others decisions. we reconnected a few years ago and had stimulating conversations.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this trying time.
may Michael Rest In Peace.

Carol, I remember meeting you years ago and your giving my mom some of your delicious honey. I am one of Mike's cousins, the youngest daughter of his Aunt Anne and Uncle Frank. I found out on Sunday that Mike died and felt very bad that we were not permitted to attend calling hours or his funeral. Mike always attended my family's occasions, be they happy or sad, and I always enjoyed seeing him. My very deepest sympathy, Mary Lou Fuchs
