Mike was one in a million. We shared so many adventures in Japan and Germany together while working for Philips. He will be missed. I look back on fond memories. My condolences to his wife and family.
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand

It is hard to believe Michael is gone. I attended elementary school with Mike at St. Agatha School. He was the nicest person. I don't think anyone has anything negative to say about him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Rest in Peace!

To the family of Michael Kearns, I am so sorry for your loss. No words seem appropriate. One Christmas not long ago, Michael won an item that I wanted to win at the Yankee Swap. The next year at Christmas, he handed me a wrapped gift. Inside, was the very item I had wanted from the previous Christmas. He said he was down sizing. So thoughtful. Sincerely, Cathy Yahiaoui
