Not sure what to say?

Where does one start - with all of the good memories of Michael . One that comes to mind when on tour looking at all our new listings - with Michaels 6'3" body crammed in the front seat of a small car - legs tucked under his chin. Our driver was an elder women was not a good driver - each too fast of a turn or hitting the breaks at the last minute Michael wooukd scream "my face! Don't hurt my pretty face!"- amidst many high pitched screams of terror. I was laughing so hard in the back seat...

I just read the sad news about Michael in the Parkway School District Alumni news. My heart goes out to his family!I grew up with Michael in Chadwick Estates and went to High School with him. May he rest in peace.

Michael was a great friend and his passing has left us all heart broken. I will miss so many things about him. His smile, his generosity and easy going nature. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and all that loved him. Be at peace my friend. You are loved and missed.

It was a pleasure to have known Micheal- a man who epitomized the word "class".
You will be dearly missed.

Be at peace with The Lord.
May perpetual lights shine upon you, Michael. You were a good man.
Lord, grant Michael eternal rest. May we all meet again in your Kingdom.

Michael was such a nice and genuine person. He was our realtor for our last three houses. We will miss him dearly.

Michael was one of a kind and a very close friend. I cherish every memory and he will be missed daily. A big hug out to his loved ones.

Am very sorry for your loss -Michael was an amazing person - there will never be anyone like him. He will be missed.

I am sad to hear of your loss.
I met Mike when we all lived in Chadwick and knew him all through school and from the neighborhood. He was always decent and nice to us younger kids and fun to have around.
We actually were at a party recently and recalled his name and wondered how he was doing.
