Not sure what to say?

im physically handicapped and am in a wheelchair...every time i came to kroger's and mike spotted me he was so helpful he'd make sure id have an amigo and he was so caring as in individual...god bless you mike.

I saw Mike at Kroger frequently and sometimes other places. It was always a joy to see his smiling face along with Harold. Peace to his family and friends.

I don't know Mike well, we go to different church services, but when Mike would see me at church he would always make a point to stop and say hello. A very fine person, I really enjoyed our conversations.

I will always remember working with you ❤

I was Mike's pastor at St. John's Episcopal Church in Midland from Oct. 1997 to Jan. 2004. My wife Joan and I remember him warmly as a happy, kind, free-spirited person--always excited about the next thing he was going to do. He had something to report to to the congregation every week at sharing time. Mike and his buddy Harold were always there. May Mike rest in the Peace of Christ.

Mike was such a kind man.. I enjoyed coaching him in softball, he and Harold were inseparable. RIP Mike

I never knew his name, but myself and my co-workers all recognized his face because he was always in Walmart. Very nice guy--him and his "partner in crime" who used to come in with him, would ask people what their birthday was and within a couple of seconds they would calculate your age in their heads. I'll miss seeing him and saying hi to him when he was in the store. :(

Hadn't seen Mike since I left Walmart about 2 years ago. Part of what I really miss about the store is seeing Mike and Harold come in and shop and sit in Subway. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a charming and very polite man and will be missed by a lot of people.

Mike was always a smiling friendly face when he came to Wal*Mart on Tuesday's and Thursday's. One day he told it was his birthday so I decided to make it special and get him a cupcake to celebrate. Your friends at Wal*mart willmiss you Mike.
