He was my favorite teacher he made going to high school easier to deal with. I learned a great deal about cars thanks to him whenever i messed up he would always be there to yell and throw the occassional wrench but he was one of if not the best teacher I have ever had.

Kathy, Zack and Katlen,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. Mike was a real character, who was very talented in many ways and would help anyone. He had touched so many lives and I will miss his silly laugh, and even those funny stories he told me. I consider myself fortunate to have met him and shared a small part in his life. He will be missed by many. May god bless your family and help you thru this difficult time.

Mike was one of my best buddies. I will miss his humor and crazy smile. In my book, he was one of the good guys. He helped many people around Lake Wildwood. He could fix almost anything. I know he has moved on to a higher place and is at peace. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
