Mike, you shied from the limelight, yet your star shined brightly. I will miss your smile and friendship. Your kindness and gentle ways will always be in my heart. We weren't ready for you to go. I will miss you, Hon. Love, Jeannie

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Mike. I didn't find out until after his funeral or I would have surely come to pay my respects and say a final goodbye to my old pal. I have been consumed with thoughts of Mike. I know we didn't spend much time together outside of Leons, and we didn't hang out much, (although I wish we could have hung out together more often), but i really, really liked him. He was such a gentle, forgiving, honest man. I never heard him say anything bad about anyone--ever. I never heard anyone say anything bad about Mike either. My friend Amy met him at the wedding of our friend Allison recently at Oregon Ridge and Amy immediatly liked him. My friend Layne met him recently and also liked him immediatly. he had a magnetic personality and everyone seemed to like him right away. I definately heard, "If I can't be good, I will be good at it," quite a few times. I will miss Mike and I look forward to seeing him again.

Mickael, I am missing you so much. I can't call you my brother in law because you are like a brother to me. My memories of you are great ones. I see you at our wedding, of course, dancing with all of the ladies. You were with us when Shelby was born. You would just hold her and she would just sleep in you arms. Those strong arms that always had a hug for everyone. Shelby and Dylan always loved to spend time with you. You touched so many people and you just did not realize it. Jim, a man with little words, is missing you also. You would always stand back so you would not be in the spot light. The brightest light in the room was where you were standing. The Baker family misses you and we will always love you. You will forever be with us in our hearts. Love You, Miss Anne

Though I only Mike for about a year, I loved every minuet of it. He was such a happy, cheerful, loving guy. Everytime he would call for Rob at work, I would never want to give the phone to Rob. Mike just lifted my day at that percise moment he wish me a "HAPPY DAY!" Everytime I would see him, he would always give me one of the hugs with the Growl. I loved it. I will Mike, and his happiness he brought to all of us. I had seen him not even a week before, when he was picking Rob up at my place afterwork. He has George with, he always did. I would alwyas tell Mike "be good" and he would always reply in a cheerfrul manner "If I can't be good, I'll be good at it". Hearing him say those words, just put a great big smile on my face, as Mike always did. May Mike rest in peace, and enjoy his new home. We'll all see him again. He's with us at all times. In our hearts, and memories. I love you Mike, and I always will. I'll take of Rob for you. We all will. God Bless.

Mickael,
How can I even begin. You were everything to me, but I had to share you with others due to your kind heart. and I wouldn't have had it any other way. You made every one of your friends feel so special, that was your way. I never realized that you had so many girlfriends until your service on Sunday. Your Mom and Dad raised a true gentleman. Our 25 years together now seem to have gone so quickly, and I want so much to have you back with me that it hurts. I know that you have gone home with a HUGE smile on your face and will finally get the recognition, respect and love that some robbed you of in life. Always remember and never forget that I loved you from my soul. Take care of your kind and gentle Spirit until
I'm called home. Save me a seat and meet me on porch. Georgie and I will miss you.
Rob

I'm going to miss Michael very much. I already do. Its hard to believe that I just saw him a few days ago and now I won't be seeing him until I get to heaven. He was such a sweet person. I'm so glad I got to know him. I'm thankful for the time that everyone had with him here.

Brother Mike what a ray of sunshine you were to me, always having something nice and pleasant to say, always building me up in times I was down. Never did I say a word; just smiled and you knew. With that inner christian spirit. You always knew just what to say, a pleasant response,an uplifting word. You know as Christians we all need to love and pay attention more to each other as you did. What a great lesson you taught me and many others at South Broadway Baptist Church. Just in your kind and loving way. You will truely be missed my brother. I know one day I wil see you again in our Fathers presence. Love Sis Kim Maynor-Smith

Mike, I can't begin to thank you for taking the time to be my friend. You will always have a special place in my heart and it is filled with fond memories of you. There is no one in the world that could ever take your place. I always loved our heart to heart conversations, just you and me (and of course George)at your kitchen table drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. I thank God that he brought you and Robert into my life back on Fleetwood Avenue in the early 1980's. Hoping when its time, I will see you again, when we all are neighbors again in Heaven. Save us a spot. Love you and miss you.....Cheryl
