Mike was one of the first people that greeted me when I first started at Trinity. His outgoing and lighthearted personality will be missed greatly. He was always there with a smile and some laughter and I will really miss that.

Mike brought joy into every room he entered. His caring for other people was limitless, always bringing a casserole or bars to comfort someone in need. His wonderful sense of humor and wit will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.
