I had just spoke with Mike about the collage of pictures that he did for the new Pizza Hut in Ligonier. He always took the time to stop and smell the roses. My prayers go out to Mrs. Walton and his children. Mike helped me to be a better person. Never seen him angry, met anything negative with a question to make the situation a positive. God Bless him and his family.

Michael was the most driven, passionate, giving and energetic person I have ever worked with. We will miss your attitude. Save a place for me.
