My deepest sympathies to Mike's family. I worked with him at Buckroe Beach Amusement Park and was thinking of him in recent years when a mutual friend mentioned his name. I have fond memories of our time at the amusement park.

Please know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers in your time of sorrow. My memories of Mike are from many years ago, when I was in my teens and early twenties. He was always in a good mood and had a smile on his face when I saw him. I'd like to think he's smiling down on us all now, feeling better again. May God bless you all.

I am very sorry for your loss. Mike was a very special person to me and my family. He was like a brother to me and a son to my parents. He touched alot of people with his kindness and gentle ways throughout his lifetime. I know he struggled the past few years with his health and I pray he is finally at peace and his pain is gone. If there is anything I can do...please let me know. He will be greatly missed!
