What an unforgetable character Mike was. His energy was contagious! We will miss him, especially on the dance floor. My thoughts are with his family.

Stan and I are so sorry to hear of your loss...Mike was such a nice person, and we knew that when we met you both at Arthur Murray Studio's 20 years ago.....Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are in Fla for the season, otherwise we could have talked to you in person.
Peace be with you.

It is so hard to wrap my mind around the fact that Mike will never again walk through the studio doors. I can't be there today but you will be in my thoughts. Kathie Malinky

The USA Dance Community of Harrisburg extends it's deepest sympathies to his family, relatives, and friends on their loss. Mike will truly be missed.

He was an amazing school teacher. I was one of his students.

To Evelyn and Heather,
Mike was a man who was adored by many including myself. To hear of his passing is hard, as I can only remember him as a lively dancer with a great personality. He was one who spoke his mind, and he was quite encouraging. I am sure that he is only on a journey to a better place, and we can all say "here's to the man, that could dance to his own beat."

Dear Evelyn,

Please know prayers for you and your family are on my heart. I am truly sorry for your loss, and wish you peace and strength during this difficult time.

For over three decades we enjoyed Mike’s friendship—his humor, his music, his creative and resourceful mind, and his cheerful willingness to drop whatever he was doing to help a neighbor.
He communicated his love of teaching, dancing, and life in general with an enthusiasm that was infectious, and the originality and artistry with which he worked wood and shaped his life were an inspiration. The world was a brighter place for his being in it, and will be a poorer place without him. ...
