Miss my snowblower buddy

Dad, We laid you to rest today. By far one of the hardest things I have done. It was cold and snowy. As we were leaving the cemetary, the sun broke through the clouds momentarily and I knew it was you looking down upon us from heaven. I cherish the gifts I have received in my life, my family, my husband, my son, my daughter and friends. Today I received another special gift from my brother, your military flag. I will cherish this flag like the other blessings I have been given. You asked to be cremated and your wishes were fulfilled. Your three children were given part of your ashes to take home. Although I know you are already looking down upon us, I now have you here to talk to, to hold you and tell you everyday how much I miss you. You had a beautiful service surounded by family and very close friends. I was so happy to meet all of your friends. I miss you Dad and I always will until we meet again. I love you, Beth

Ed and I are so sorry for the loss of Michael. He brightened our mornings at the deli with his own brand of fare- scrambled eggs with a hearty handful of hot pepper or at lunch with his signature provolone cheese hoagie. But most of all we will miss his wonderful quirky wit and warm sense of humor.In the summer we would have a lot of fun teasing him about his "short shorts" which he referred to as his "hot pants". No matter how difficult our day was he always delivered a ray of sunshine.He was one of our favorite customers and we were always happy to see him walk in the door. He will be hugely missed! He truly was one of a kind...a warm, generous, honorable man.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mike was good friends with my father, Mike Pole. He was a wonderful friend to my dad, especially when my dad became ill. My dad was a huge Eagles fan and he liked Mike despite the fact that Mike was a Dallas fan - that's saying a lot about how great a guy your dad was! Let's hope they're both together now talking football.

Wally, Lisa, Debbie, Beth and grandkids. We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved dad and granddad. I'm sure his presence and impact on your lives is hard in your time of sorrow, but will forever be cherished. You will always remember the good times that only a dad and granddad can give. Love always, Nikki, David and Rachael West

I am so very sorry, for the loss of your Dad. Even though I only worked with Mike at Res-Kem Corp, for a very short time. I was very Blessed to have him as a Special friend in my life for many years to follow.
We use to go out to dinner every so often, & he always made me laugh, particularly with the Tasmanian devil. His love for stray cats always made me chuckle, but when you saw him with them, you knew how BIG His Heart was & how much he loved animals. He was the most giving, loving & kindest man I have ever met.
I am so glad I had the Chance to talk to him a few weeks ago & tell him how I felt.
He was Always in my prayers; along with your whole family since I found out he was ill.
I was so privileged he was in my life & I am a much better person for having him as a Friend.
You are all in my prayers & I cannot imagine what my life will be like without him, but I look to the future with Very fond memories & reminiscences of what Great times we had together.
God Bless you all.
My deepest sympathies,

Jennifer Gatti

I am very sorry to here of your father's passing. Mike was a very close friend to my father Michael Pole. Your father was one of the kindest people I have ever met, when my dad was sick Mike went out of his way to check in on him and bring him to the deli to be with his friends. I am so sorry for your loss, he will be missed.

Dad, You touched the lives of so many. You have the warmest heart of anyone I have ever met. I am so sad to have lost you so soon but so blessed to have had you in my life. I miss you so much already. My children could not have asked for a more caring and supporting grandfather. My husband respected and admired you for the man that you are (even though you were a Dallas fan)! I used to tease you about how much you cared for those stray animals and how you always carried food with you to feed them where ever you saw them. Ironically, my children now tease me as I do the same. Thank you for passing this kindness down to me. I love you so much and will think of you every day. I am so proud to call you my DAD.
