Not sure what to say?

Still greatly missing The Great Yanhko after the preceding year.

Michael was a good friend. Worked many MAPGA Jr. and Section Tournaments with him
over the last 20 years.
You will be missed.

Mike...I was missing you on Facebook abd you were heavy on my mind last night, so I checked more closely only to find you have crossed. I hope you found Pat and the two of you can look out for those left behind. God bless you and your family. Will miss you and your stories of all you adventures. You helped many, now it is time to rest. Love you...wish Joe and I could be at your celebration, but Joe isn't in a position he can travel.

Mike was truly one of a kind. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to have met both Mike and Pat. Both were just such wonderful people, and I always enjoyed time with them. I know Mike loved his family so very much, and he will truly be missed by so many. Condolences to the family.

We will miss his infectious zeal. He always had a good word to say. May our Lord grant you peace and comfort and may memories of happy, healthier times bring many smiles.
In Christ's Love,
Donna and Charles Judy

Coach, I feel terrible that I did not know you were under the weather so to speak. I will never forget your love of sports, people, golf and especially your family. You were always so kind to me even if I didn't always agree with your on course rulings :) - but I knew you were always right. Mike, I will never forget all of the kind things you did for all of us. You were and always will be a role model on how one should conduct themselves. I'll always remember our day together at Burning...

Sorry to hear of Coach’s passing, and my condolences to the Yanhko family.
Like so many other student athletes, Coach Yanhko was my mentor in Baseball, Football, and
Driver Ed Instructor. I have many fond memories of Coach, and truly grateful for knowing such a fine person. With deepest sympathies , Mike Riemer

Very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was such a good and decent man, who truly cared about people. I enjoyed working with him for a couple of years on the Sports Beat after he retired from coaching but before he left New Jersey. Condolences to the family.

Condolences to the Coach Yanhko´s family and friends. A good man and coach.
