I'm sorry to hear about Mike. I worked with him for years at South Central Bell/Bellsouth. We talked often and helped each other on various telecom, data, and technology related issues. He was always so nice and pleasant to be around. I will miss him.

Michael and I attended Emmanuel Episcopal Church while in 7-12 grades. Michael was very faithful serving as an acolyte. I remember Michael as a really decent teenager with a wonderful sense of humor. Michael was one of the good guys. After high school we went in different directions. We were reunited after 45 years by his sister-in-law, Rubye. I was so pleased to discover Michael had married Linda, Rubye's younger sister. Michael and Linda were at my Hamilton 45th reunion. I thank God that Linda and Michael had their time together. May God receive Michael, where there is no pain or suffering. My prayers are for Linda and the rest of the family.

My heart is heavy for you both today, Ms. Linda & Maleka. Words, because of this solemn moment, escape me. So I'll say that I love you all and I will continue to pray for you both and your family.

May the Holy Spirit keep and comfort you all.

Mike was a long time friend. His training helped me and his brother Rick become lifeguards "back in the day." He was an excellent scuba diver, diving oceans around the world. Mike was the communications consultant for my business for most of our 23 years. A tremendous human being and a good man of very high character. Prayers and heartfelt sympathy to wife Linda, Rick, his children and family.
