Not sure what to say?

last time I saw him I couldn't get over how much he looked like his dad.

Our thoughts & prayers are with all the family.
We appreciated the time he spent with our brother "Steve" who we lost last year. In Mike's own time of trial those visits were truly a tribute to the type of person he was.

Linda,
Mike was a good man and friend for many years. Memories of fishing trips, laughing, hanging out and of course the White Water Rafting Trip many, many years ago. We will always remember Mike with a smile on his face and a happy go lucky attitude.
Saying a special prayer for you and your family.

Mike was such a nice guy, a great neighbor, and a good friend. We will never forget all times he plowed our driveway, or tilled our garden. He was the first to come over when we moved in to lend a hand. We are so lucky to have known him. He will be missed.

My condolences to Linda and family. Mike was a great guy and quite a character back in high school. Prayers and sympathy on the loss of this great man.

My very DEEPEST condolences to the family. God's Peace to you.

The family of Doug Sinn send our deepest sympathies. In the loss of your husband, father, grandfather. Mike has been a friend to both of us since High School. He was truly the kindest man often putting others before himself. I pray you find comfort during this most difficult time. Doug, Paulette, Tyler (in spirit) Jessica Sinn

So very sorry for your loss. Mike was such a special friend.
