Mrs. Johns, Ken, and Stacey, - My sincere condolences at the passing of Mike. I always felt welcomed by Mike and I enjoyed growing up with Ken and hanging out at your house. One of my childhood memories was joining you on a boat trip to Cedar Point. I remember that Mike wasnt afraid to drive fast. God Bless, Jeff Forstner

Judy, my deepest sympathy at the passing of Mike. I'm so glad you both were able to come to our last Chapter meeting.

Judy, I will have a brass plated engraved and placed in the Trophy Room at Boyne Mountain with the other skiers we have lost. I am so sorry for your loss. Mike had a great personality and smile.

Judy,

I have been on the road to Florida and just got here Monday evening. I am so saddened by this news. Please accept my sincere sympathy and heart felt feelings for you and your family. I have always thought so highly of all of you and will say prayers for you over the future days. I know it is a difficult time, I just lost a Sister in Law and while it is not a husband or wife, it has been a terrible loss. I know your children and relatives and friends will take the best care...

Mike was a great guy and he will be greatly missed. More than almost anyone I know he put into practice the gospel message of "loving your neighbor as yourself".

Our deepest sympathy. We will miss seeing Mike in Church at St. Andrews. John & Peggy Klee
