Michael D. Valentine

Thank you Sir for many care free miles of smiles. Don´t know what I would do without you with me.

Peggy, I'm so sorry to hear this. I was thinking of you two today, just out of the blue. I still have the coins you and Mike brought me from Europe when I watched your cats. My sincere condolences, Lisa Finlay, the little girl who lived across from you on Southview

So sorry to hear of Mike´s passing. I worked for him and "Pop" when Cincinnati Microwave was located on Northland Blvd in Springdale and grew with them to the location on Microwave Plaza. I worked with his sister Kathy. Mike and"Pop" were great to work for and generous to their employees. So sad. RIP, Mike. Sandy Phillips

RIP, Mr. Valentine. Thank You for being such an innovator. You produced the best products and had the greatest integrity and commitment to your customers. Deepest condolences to family & friends....

I never met Mike in person but did have the honor of speaking with him on the phone a few times. Took time out of his busy day to answer my questions and chat about sports cars. He was so outgoing and friendly. Incredible product knowledge. I am a long time customer back from the old days. Sorry to read about his passing. Very nice man.

Mike was a friend...a fellow classmate...and an inspiration for innovation and entreprenuerialship. His father, Jim, was a role model for me, giving me my 1st job at Valentine Matchplate. I will always cherish the relationship I have had with the Valentime family.

Mrs. Valentine, I am so sorry to hear of Michael´s passing. I think of the two of you often and have mentioned the two of you and your generosity to both UC and the city of Cincinnati to many people. He was truly a great person.

I first met Mike in 1978 by way of his sister Nancy Lowe. Mike became a huge supporter of the Porsche Club of America, and a stalwart of the Ohio Valley Region PCA. He became the ultimate Porsche gearhead and an absolute great friend. I am so saddend by his early demise. Drop a gear and hit the revs Mike!

I didn't know Mike well but since the first time using the V1 I've been an euthusiast. So much so that I started doing customizations of the V1 products for myself and eventually others. One day I had a sale and the customer name caught my eye, it was Mike. I emailed him and asked him to give me a call and he did a few hours later. I was curious as to why he was buying a modified v1 display and we chatted for a good 30 minutes about the industry and where it was headed. He was the most kind...
