Not sure what to say?

Becky, Jim, Janet and family:
I grew up on House Drive with Mike. I have both know him and adored him since the 7th grade. One of my fondest memories is taking a road trip to Ashland College to watch him portray Crazy Gugenheim (I think that's the character's name) in a show at the college. What a ham! The world will be a much emptier place without him. I am so sorry for your loss.

ALL THOUGH I'VE ONLY MET MICHAEL ONCE I WAS TOUCHED BY HIS POSITIVE OUTLOOK. HE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO ME ON THAT DAY.
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Mike was a great neighbor and good friend. He could always make you laugh. I will always remember him on stage at the 1963 Coventry Talent Night as "Crazy Gogenhine". The audience gave him a standing ovation. He was GREAT.

Dear Becky and Family,

I graduated with Mike from Coventry High (Marcia Barton Stringer). I was saddened to read of his death, and my heart goes out to all of you. I have taken it one day at a time since my mother died late
December.

Sincerely,

Marcia (Barton) Stringer

I am Michael's cousin, when we were young all of us would have a great time together, even in the sand pits (that we got in trouble for). He use to come to the house and visit, it was always a good time, He was an inspiration,too many years ago......
Thoughts and prayers to you all.

I am a friend of the family, I knew Mr. Garrett for about 8 years. He was always friendly to me and I appriciated the kindness that he brought with him. I will miss him yet remember him. My thoughts and prayers go out to Garrett family.

I am Michael's cousin from California. Our mothers were sisters. I will always remember fondly the time we spent together when I visited Ohio. Time spent at the "Farm" and out in Kent is at the center of some of my favorite summer memories. Reconnecting again at Jill's wedding was a bittersweet occasion as together we remembered our mothers' passing. Gone too soon Mike...I will miss you always. And to Becky and the children: my warmest thoughts are with you as you cope with this difficult...

My late husband, Daniel and I both worked with Mike at OBES. Daniel was his supervisor.
I remember when Mike's children were young and he and Becky and the children came to our home to pick apples. The children seemed to enjoy the day.
My deepest sympathy to the family .
