Not sure what to say?

Mike so many wonderful memories...you are truly missed and loved.

Michael..I miss your smile, your laugh...I just miss you but you will always be remembered. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us.

I can't imagine it has been three years...I miss your smile, laughter, and love of like.

Dear Michael...I miss you and Gwen but know you are both free of pain and looking down on all of us here.

Remembering Michael in so many ways! When visiting them in Arizona, he was always a delightful host and made the visit so much fun. Sending love to the whole family!

Mike was one of my roommates at Linsly in Wheeling, West Virginia, and everyone who knew him liked him. We felt so sorry for him after his father died and Mike cried himself to sleep. No more years as Mike must be in Heaven with all other family who went before him.

Michael you will be missed by so many but thanks for the laughter, love and friendship over the years. May you soul rest in peace

We love you and want to share this photo of Mike and Gwen in the choir family at Ferndale First UMC in Michigan. They were strong supporters of the church and its music program!

He was a delightful, joyful and exuberant man. One of my favorite comments I ever heard Gwen make about being married to Michael was
"she had never been bored being married to him". I shall miss his presence and his joyful spirit and his lovely voice.
