Not sure what to say?

May you all feel.prace, comfort and strength only the Lord can give you. And rest in knowing you'll be together again some glorious day in Heaven. Love to you all from Todd and Rebecca Miller and family.

Worked with Mike at Potts & Callahan, what a terrific person and could repair anything. Rest in peace Mike

Mike and I grew up together and were like brothers. We built tree houses, played guitar together, roller skated, worked on cars and had really good times. Rest in peace Mike.

Never sat still, always on the move and working on something. I bought a van & a car off his son which I won a demolition derby with. I worked with Mike at Werres corp. if he knew you he would do what ever he could to help you if you needed it. A wonderful man.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all!
