To the entire family,

I am so deeply saddened to know Mike has passed on to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Mike was a very special person to me and he will always be in my heart. He gave me so much including our wonderful son Jay. I will never forget the wonderful times we shared as a couple. There are far too many to write. I have to mention his compassion and caring for others. He was so accepting of others and loved all. Like all of us he had his faults and sins but Mike loved his fellow man and loved Jesus with all his heart. I will forever cherish his compassion to me and my family when my brother, Jim, died in 1986. I love you all and you are all still family to me. Erin

As a friend of your brother John, I spent many nights at your house and went on many family trips with you all. You were always a great guy and always kept me laughing.



You and your family are in our prayers.

Mike did a wonderful job at the last Fairmont West High School reunion. I think that it excited him as well. I have done a lot of the same photos through the same program. I also know that he helped Chris Bowden before her passing with the computer as well (and even her Mom).
