I had the opportunity to play with Mike on the 1966 team. I am sorry to hear about his passing. sincerely JimFrain Roseville,ca.

I just found out about Mike's passing .He was a good man and a good lawyer.I worked with him on several cases. Whoever came up with the saying "Only the good die young" was right.

We just found out of Mike,s passing. My husband knew him for thirty years and I for over twenty. He helped my husband through a few cases and help handle my malpractice suit. You could always call Mike or stop in and he would have time for you. We haven,t spoke in a little while and we will miss his wit. When he walked into a court room you knew it would be okay. I can,t begin to say how much he will be missed. Jim and I will always remember him with a smile. I just referred him a week ago....

Barb and Family: I just found out today about Mike's passing. I was a classmate of his at St. Henry's Seminary in Belleville, Il. during his highschool years.

It will be 50 years ago on March 18th that Mike and I met at the

at the memorial service and here on line, just reaffirmed the "greatness" that was Mike. Past students he taught at Fenwick, basketball players he coached, his colleagues and friends from the State's Attorney's Office and in his private practice and of course his beloved friends -- all...

Mike was a coach when I was a student at Fenwick. He always had an encouraging word for team members. He had a gentle spirit about him that was readily apparent to all those whose lives he touched. I am saddened by his passing. He will be missed.

My condolences to the Norris family. Mike taught English when I was a Sophomore. I will always remember his class for opening my eyes to Shakespeare and other authors. He was a great teacher.
