Not sure what to say?

I think about Mike quite often. I miss the times we worked together in our community. Never forgotten my friend. We will meet again.

I was unaware of Mike´s passing until noting a 2024 program posting by the Richmond Concert Band RCB) As stated by Randal and others here, there was no task too big or bothersome for Mike in helping others. I recall working with him in helping transport chairs and equipment from field concerts back to the Tabernacle church. He had us all laughing, not cursing, at the somewhat cumbersone nature of the church elevator. Mike exemplified the ideal community band member by modeling modesty (no...

I was a member of the Richmond Concert Band a few years ago. I was talking to a friend about needing to get a transport chair for my wife. Mike overheard the conversation and jumped right in with, "I can get you one." We met a few days later and we went to his in-laws house and got the chair. It was Brand New! It was a lot better than the chairs I had been looking at online. My wife liked it, too. And as her Parkinson's progressed, we were able to continue to easily keep her doctors...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved ones today and always.

I had the pleasures of having Mike as my supervisor many yeas ago at the Department of Taxation. Mike is a special person, once he friend you, its forever.

I worked with Mike at DVS for 3 years and learned a lot about state government in that time. We remained friends after that. He was a great man and he will be forever missed. My condolences to his family.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Mike's attitude was always positive. We enjoyed his visits; he always had a story or a hilarious joke. We will miss our dear friend. Our prayers and thoughts are with his wife, children and friends. May God provide you all with peace and comfort.

My path crossed Michael´s many times during my career with Virginia state government. He was the consummate professional and a pleasure to deal with. My late wife Jeanette Wilson considered him a friend and mentor. I am saddened by his passing. My condolences to his family and friends.

To Johanna and family I am sorry to hear of Mike's passing. My heartfelt condolences. Mike hired me at the Department of Taxation for the Commonwealth of Virginia. It was my pleasure to work for him. While I only worked for him the last few of years of his tenure with the state, what I learned from him had immeasurable value. I was and always will be grateful to him for sharing his knowledge and being a friend.
