Its been a while since I put a message on your book . Things are not the same anymore for everyone that knew you and loved you . No matter what happened in my life you were always so polite to me I remember one day when I was walking on the trail outside of Orting you stopped on your bike and told me to be careful walking alone . No one had ever said that to me and I thought wow how cool it was that you would be concerned about me . I wish now that we could of spent more time talking but you...

Nickie: I sat on the other side of Mike's cube at KeyBank for over five years. I am so sorry I was unable to attend his memorial but I was hospitalized at UW Medical. Even though we were in different departments (I was in IT) I will always remember the talks we had about hunting and fishing. Mike was a gentleman and always had a smile or joke for you. He will be missed!

It was with a sorrowful heart that I read about Mike's passing. I graduated from OHS with Mike. I haven't lived in the Valley since 1978, but my heart is in Orting and the people that make it so special. It was an amazing place to grow up. RIP Mike. So glad you were loved by so many and that you lived your life well.

Nickie, I worked with you at the Soldiers' Home many years ago. I want to say anything right now to help ease your pain, but there are no words for this! So instead I will do the only thing I can, & that is to pray for the strong beautiful woman I became so fond of!

Even in your passing you still manage to make so many people show up for an event, you are loved by so many people young and old and will be truly missed but not forgotten . I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful service and such a touching one , your send off was the best I've ever seen and heard ,the elk noise made me smile because I knew when you heard that sound during hunting season you got that big smile on your face to . I'am so blessed to of been able to call you my brother in...
