Not sure what to say?

Mike was a great role model. I'm in late 60's and remember his kindness when I was 15. Giving me my first job! Mike taught to always say THANK YOU to a customer and add HAVE A NICE DAY! To this day I still say that. And when ever I meet anyone I always add Have a Nice Day. Great employer. Loved his wife, Georgia and his Sons.

Time passes by but the fond memories stay fresh in our hearts and mind. We still miss you.

Such a nice man. It has already been 10 years, and I know he will always remain in your hearts. Prayers to Georgia and his sons.

Grateful to have known one of the nicest human beings. His name is still brought up among friends I worked with in the 1970's. Very well respected employer.

We miss you Mike. Prayers and thoughts are with your family

The candle still burns bright with the fond memories of you. God bless you as we all keep you in our daily thoughts.

No other employer has ever treated me so kind. He was first a family man. His wife was his number one love, then his two boys came along and I was trusted to occasionally...
