Michael John "Mike" Waltrip

Mike was a truly delightful person to know. He had a zest for life and filled my days at RJR and UNC with many wonderful memories. Can remember his smile, his occupation of the last room on the second floor of the Beta House with Cary Raditz, and many evenings (and early mornings) in the Beta Party House listening to Beach Music. He was. simply, a good and happy person. Carl Younger

What a beautiful obituary! It captures the cousin I knew and remember. His mom and my mom were sisters. Fond memories of Michael come flooding back. It is heart breaking that you and your children had to endure Michael´s hard death. I know that your grief and sense of loss will give way to your memories of years of happiness, joy and love. I love you all, Jane

I fist met Mike when he would call on Mr. rRierson at Hastings Compsny. Then I went to work for Aon and saw him there. He remembered me and was always so nice to me. So sorry for your loss.

Mike was a great guy and a jovial colleague. I really looked forward to working with him - a sign of high praise for very few people I've worked with in my 35 year career. Rest in peace, my friend.

Dear Janis, Tom, and Rebecca, you have taken great care of Mike over the duration of his illness. It was so good to read about his life, education, work, and volunteer activities. That story is a life well lived, and one to be proud of. I hope that as life returns to more normal, you will be consoled by family and friend´s support. I also hope those good memories of Mike will be the ones you remember the most. Thinking of all of you! Jodi and Len Preslar
