Not sure what to say?

I think of you guys often from our time with Halsey-Taylor. Sorry for your loss Dawn.

We were very saddened to learn of Mike's passing, but we are so happy that we were able to visit with him last February, while we were in Illinois. We are sure that Jesus welcomed him into heaven. Sending our prayers and sympathies to Dawn and the entire Pontius family.

Mike was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I'm so glad that our family was able to meet the Pontius Family while living in Freeport. Mike will be forever missed!

To the Pontius family,
So sorry for your loss! Mike gave his best and wasn't a quitter. He did what he wanted and made choices to prove he had the right stuff. I will remember him as determined to be a family man and how much his Dad was his hero and role model when we were kids in grade school. I told Mike he couldn't sing, but nothing stopped him from trying things. He was fun and funny and had a good heart. He was brave. I'm so glad his dreams came true. He truly had everything. Rest...

When news of Mikes death came today here in Boise Idaho my heart sank. I will miss you! I am grateful that you are with Christ and will be made whole in him.We will see each other again old friend. From and old PRETZEL, I say to you......GO BULLDOGS!

Many years of Card Club together. Good times, laughter, silliness, competition but never a dull moment. You will be missed Mike! Prayers to you Dawn and your family! Hugs
