Not sure what to say?

Janet, I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I ran into Debbie and Tod today and they advised me. I always enjoyed our times together back when we were all
Neighbors in Gurnee. My deepest condolences to you, your Daughter and family.

Mike was such a kind , easy going , and positive person ! I worked early turns for many years and had the pleasure of seeing him around ORD. He always talked so highly of his true loves, his girls , Janet and Katie . His warm smile and caring heart touched many of ours who had the pleasure of working along side of Mike . With my deepest sympathy and prayers , Joan Weinrauch

He was a great guy.I am really sorry for your loss.

What a Guy!!! Very special and I’m sure he is in Heaven!!!

I worked with Michael at the airport many years ago. He was a kind and sweet soul. Was saddened to hear about this. My most sincere condolences to his family. R.I.P., Michael!

Mike was such a great agent to always run into when I was working a flight. Always with a smile on his face he would talk about his house in SC. The last time I saw him he was months away from retirement. I was very excited for him and Janet and Katie. I am shocked to hear about his passing. My deepest sympathy to Janet and Katie. Sending healing prayers.

Had a blast working with Mike back when we were United rookies in CS down in the claim area in T-2 (1978). Those old spillplates of claim anreas 1 and 2 almost took our legs off! A great person to be around. So positive and a genuinely nice person.

“I was deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Michael’s passing. It was an honor to work alongside him. He was the best trainer, a father, and a brother to all, and he will always be remembered. Michael made a positive impact on everyone around him and will be greatly missed.”

Pleased to have him in my life he was a fine man
