Keeping the family in our prayers during this time of remembrance of your loved one.

Mike was one of the most incredible people I ever had the joy of working with. It breaks my heart that the world is without him.

Mike was a great person and staff member. He had a great smile and was compotant and well liked and respected. We are all better because of his leadership.

Mike was a tireless advocate for school employees and for justice. He was a mentor to many, including me.

Michael was a friend and colleague at MEA. I enjoyed his friendship and his outlook on life and the importance of advocacy. I will miss his friendship.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
