Not sure what to say?

I miss him very much. Hope the rose bushes are still blooming by the driveway. I know how he loved flowers. Ups friend, Sheila Stegman

It was a pleasure to work with Mike and to be his friend. He always wanted the best for those he worked with and made people smile. Mike will be missed by many, but we will all smile when we think of him and the memories he has left for us. Thanks for being a great friend.

Robyn and family:
Mike was a good friend to me. Always positive and encouraging! We knew each other as missionaries in the Georgia-South Carolina mission, then again in the old West Jordan Welby Stake. His kindness to me when we served together in our missionary work is a warm spot in my heart that I will never forget.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Robyn Larsen & family, So sorry to hear of the passing of your husband & (your Children's) father. Though I didn't know him very well, I know the sorrow you are experiencing. One thing is for sure you wouldn't want him to suffer in pain or poor health.
I know that to have loved & cared for someone, that love is return abundantly and in ways that may just have began to surface.
I hope & pray dear cousins, that you may be comforted & strengthen at this time and the days & months...

Mike was one of the kindest people I have known. He was a wonderful supervisor while I worked at UPS. He loved flowers and one Christmas our work team gave him three beautiful rose bushes. He planted them in his yard and enjoyed them for a many years. He was a great example to so many. Comfort and prayers to his family.

I was lucky enough to work with Mike at UPS for 15 years. His kindness and compassion knew no boundaries. He was smart, funny, and always had something nice to say. He made going to work a pleasure. I will miss you and pray for your family in the days ahead. God bless and keep you my friend.

I treasured Mike as my first Supervisor at UPS and the time he took to listen to me. And then all the silly jokes.... :)) Merri Medlock

I have great work memories with Mike over the years, from the way he would single-handedly wrestle new UPS Drop Boxes and install them (several hundred pounds, mind you...), to the day I rode with him as a part of my Account Executive training, and many, many more in customer service over the years. Mike touched thousands of people, was universally loved, and will be missed.

Mike, you were a great missionary companion for 6 months in the Georgia-South Carolina Mission; thanks for introducing me to my eternal companion Ruthann Wright. We will miss you!
