Will always be grateful to Mike for his advocacy and the belief that all individuals deserved to live inclusively in the community. His legacy will live on for all of us who care about housing for all.

Mike, it breaks my heart that you and Patty are no longer with us. I hadn´t seen you for along time, but every year I loved sending a Christmas card and receiving the traditional family picture. Condolences to your family.

Mike was my neighbor, friend, and classmate who lived just across the street from me growing up at Koontz Lake, IN. I remember Mike as sort of a rough and tumble fun-loving red-headed rebel with a quick wit who did not feel compelled to always go along with the crowd.

Mike was my big brother and my Hero. He was never afraid of a challenge, even welcoming them, saying it's how one grows. He was open and vocal about his love for Patty and his sons.

It was during this time that I had the privilege of...

Mike was a gentle and kind soul. Rudo and I loved Mike very much. He encouraged us in so many ways and our lives have and will be forever changed by his friendship, his encouragement and support throughout these years. Thank you Mike for being such a blessing for our lives. Rest in Paradise with Patty! We love and miss you madly!

Mike, I've always said that you were my best friend growing up. That friendship continued throughout our lives. It was always nice catching up on each others' lives through our many phone calls. You and Patty were a wonderful couple and had an interesting life together. I am truly going to miss you. Greg Bohac
