Not sure what to say?

I'm reminded of Mike often as I've continued with Dr. Emerson Rowley who assumed his practice. Mke was a terrific guy . . . . very genuine and humble.

Dr. Gehlen taught me a lot. I went to his school back in the day. The best dental assisting school. It was so awesome to be able to work in his clinic. So sad to hear he passed :(

I was a long time patient of Mike's. I came to know him first through playing club soccer together for more years than I can now recall.
He was an accomplished player and valuable team mate.

I became a patient of his early on in our "soccer careers." He was a dedicated professional, interested not only in a patient's top notch care but their personal well being. Mike was a real gentleman.

This memory was prompted by the fact a Celebration of Life was scheduled Sunday,...

I WAS SAD TO HEAR MIKE HAD PASSED. WE WERE GOOD FRIENDS IN HIGH SCHOOL. AND I MISSED SEEING MIKE AT OUR 50TH REUNION BY A DAY. I REMEMBER MIKE AS THE SELFLESS GUY WHO ALWAYS ENCOURAGED ME THROUGH MY MEEGER ATTEMPTS AT SPORTS. MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS. HE WILL BE TRULY MISSED.

We loved Dr. Gehlen. Sad he didn't get to enjoy retirement that long. We loved talking with him about his sailing adventures. He was a very good dentist - always caring.
He will be missed...
