Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Mike's passing. Sallie, I'm very sorry for your loss. I fondly remember my trips to Columbus with Mike. He introduced me to City Barbecue! Mike was one of the good ones. I enjoyed working with him.

When I first came to work for Findley Davies in 2001, Mike made it a point to make me feel part of the work community. His varied educational and employment background was something he enjoyed sharing. Always a friendly word, he was a big family guy and spoke frequently about Sallee and his children. R.I.P., old friend.

We will always miss Mike. They were wonderful neighbors for so many years .

Miss you guys in the neighborhood!

Deepest sympathy and condolences to Sallee and the family. Mike was a mentor and friend while we served together on the local Junior Achievement board. He and Sallee were two of the friendliest people you could ever hope to know.

Am shocked to hear about Mike and feel for Sallee and the rest of the family. Spent an enjoyable holiday with both at Hilton Head last year. He was an wonderfully gifted man and I will miss him. My best to you all.

My condolences to his survivors/family. I enjoyed working with Mike; he was a good guy.

My precious friend Sallee, we just heard about Mike.Our hearts go out to you and yours, Mikes beautiful family. There are no words to soothe the grief and sadness you are feeling. You were such a beautiful couple. And so dynamic. Love you Penny&Ken

Rest in peace Mike...a friend and teacher while I was at Watson Wyatt. My favorite memory was when he and Sallee traveled to our family farm in Paulding Ohio for my 35th birthday party. Comfort to the family...I'm sure you'll all miss him greatly.
