Mike ~ Fourteen years later, and I still can´t bring myself to delete your number from my phone. You will forever hold a special place in my heart as my best "guy friend." Give Gayle a giant hug for me ... Pam Rapozo Beatson

Mike you were the best big brother a sister could ask for. I know that in your passing you are no longer in pain and you are with Dad and Mom so give them a hug for me. I will miss not being able to pick up the phone to call you as each time I did you made it seem like we spoke each day. I will miss your laughter..Love you (your younger) sis Deana

I just found out that my big brother has gone to be with our Lord. Your passing sadens me but I do know you are not hurting any longer. You will be missed even if we did not talk much when we did it was as if we had just spoken yesterday. You have left your mark on this world and those who had the pleasure of knowing you can understand that. You not be forgotten. Give Dad and Mom a hug from me. Love ya your (younger) Sis Deana

I just learned of the passing of my step brother Mike. We stayed in touch through the years and kept in touch after his Dad (Bud) and my Mother (Pauline) died. Mike was indeed bigger than life and one of the best golfers I had ever seen. He was loved by so many friends and family. I loved him too and I will miss him. Rest in peace Mike. Your Sis, Georgia

Like so many others have said, he was "larger than life". Knowing Mike in high school was great fun. He was a positve "can do" thinker, a natural athlete, entrepenuer and the very best joke teller. I was lucky that after almost 20 years he found me in Scottsdale, Az and for the next 3 years I met him when he and his "Spring Break Gang" came to town for a week of baseball and golf. He was always looking at the bright side of life. Still telling a joke every 3 minutes. My condolences to his...

Mike has held a special place in my heart since we met in high school, and I've always considered him to be one of my best friends. I am so grateful that we had a chance to reconnect about five years ago when we were both in Arizona during Spring Training. What an unforgetable, fantastic guy! I will miss him dearly, especially during our "birthday week."

Mike will forever be in my heart. He was the kindest, funniest, not to mention larger than life man I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Hey Big Mike, love you lots. Sheila

I met Mike and his brother Pat though their father, Papa Bud as we all called him that ever played softball under his leadership. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they say. Papa and his two son's where three of the best people I have ever met. Mike and I played golf together and I always enjoyed his company and jokes. The three of them treated me like a son and brother. Rest with God. Love ya brother. Chuck Kinsey (Citrus Heights, Ca.)
