Not sure what to say?

I remember Michael well first as a Chemistry teacher at Fletcher and later as a brother in Christ at Beaches Chapel church ..He was very inspiring very opened minded always listened ..I went on to become an engineer but I will always remember his Chemistry class in the 10th grade

I just read his obituary and shocked does not describe how I feel right now. I met him when he was an ambassador for education when he contracted with the state of Florida. I loved his many stories about space and his wish to go up there someday. He brought several telescopes to my house in Tallahassee And my daughters were thrilled to see what he showed them. He was such an inspiration to everyone.

Dr. Mike was my dean, co-teacher, mentor and friend. There are certain people who walk through your life that make a lasting impression on you. Dr. Mike was one of those people. He wanted to walk in the footsteps of Neil Armstrong but walked in those of Jesus instead. He directed me in my professional life and I enjoy teaching with him. He will be missed by so many for he touched the lives of many always for the better. I will always "Keep Looking Up" as that space cadet would say. Pray for...

Mike was my high school physics teacher and college astronomy professor. Any subject he taught--he made it much easier to learn, and he made learning fun. He was one of the good guys, and he will be sorely missed. And we will all miss his Carl Sagan impression of "billions and billions" !!! His memory will never be forgotten--he has touched and affected so many lives during his journey here on Earth--all for the better. I am so glad that our paths crossed a number of times-- I also know that...

Mike was a very knowledgeable and interesting person. It has been our pleasure to have Mike in our lives.

I learned so much from this man. I can only imagine how much he is enjoying seeing the stars up close and personal. Losing him so early is so horribly sad and he will be missed. But what an awesome legacy he left!

Our loss, Heaven's gain! We went to church with Mike years ago. Always had a deep appreciation for him, his faith and the knowledge he shared. He will always be remembered that way. Prayers for his wife Debbie and their family and loved one's.

I first met Mike at the NEAF 2010 astronomy show in Suffern, NY. It has been my pleasure to work with Mike over the years. I will miss him. RIP Mike.

Mike and I at the 2017 Almost Heaven Star Party (AHSP.org) where we both gave a talk. His talk on the 2017 August eclipse was a great talk.
