Mike was my lunch time friend at the Glass Courts and Health track for a number of years. I had the opportunity to take long runs with and learn all about his family and work.I loved him for all the reasons others have already mentioned. He was great person, and it only took a couple of conversations with him to figure this out. I don't meet many people like Mike, and consider it a blessing that I had. My deepest symapathies go out to all Mike's loved ones.

I just learned of Mike's passing. I am very sorry for your loss. I only got to spend a brief time with him during business school but I enjoyed every minute our time together. He was a rare individual and I loved his sense of humor. The world is a lot less interesting without him in it.

Nancy,
We were both shocked to hear of Mike's illness and passing. We had no idea. We have fond memories of our Dunn Geoscience days, your house on Western Avenue, etc. I seem to also recall some kind of mishap with you two drywalling a ceiling. I am still working on a project near your next house in central NY. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls.

Nancy,
I worked with Mike at the start of his career when we were young geologists at Dunn Geoscience. Even as a young man, he had deep expertise, but was humble and fun to talk with about many topics. I am saddened to see the news. Please accept my thoughts and prayers.

Nancy, Ali and Liz,
It's impossible to express our sincere sadness and express how heartbroken we are at Mike's passing. What an amazing man, husband, father and friend he was - funny, smart, giving, funny, driven, brave, funny, great conversationalist, always upbeat, real, and funny. We will miss him so. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. With much love.
