Mike, It’s still hard for Jon and I to believe that you are gone. You were and always will be Jon's bestfriend and I know that Jon thought of you as a brother and will miss you very much! We met 12 years ago when you started working at Travelers with Jon. You were also the bestman at our wedding 7 years ago. Ever since then we would always get together for holidays and picnics or any occasion. Especially now that we have children close in age. I remember you coming to our house when the twins were only a few weeks old to help Jon while your wife and I went to a baby shower. Jon was so impressed on how you handled the situation that he told me that you would be a great father someday even though you had doubts about having children. When Hayley was born you became the proud father and have always been a great dad to Hayley. The sad thing is that Hayley will never know what a great guy you were. She will have to learn this from family and friends. You will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace and God Bless you and your family at such a difficult time.

The Lamkins Family, Jon, Kelli, Jordan & Samantha

Words cannot not convey the feelings which are going through me right now. It is so hard to believe that such a wonderful person is gone.

I will always remember Mike for his wonderful sense of humor and his gentle soul.

I will miss the wonderful conversations and the post cards that I would get periodically from Mike when he visited his grandfather in Castleton VT. They alway came at times when I needed to smile

I have truly been blessed knowing you Mike and will never forget what you taught me about life and caring.

Rest in peace, and know that you will always be in our hearts, my friend.

God Bless you and your family at such a difficult time.

To the Keezer Family:

Words cannot express the sorrow I felt over the news of your loss. Please know that Mike's passing is a loss to each and every person who was fortunate enough to have known him.

I worked with Mike at Travelers for many years. I will always remember his quiet demeanor and extension of respect whenever you were speaking with him, whether it be personal or professional in nature.

Mike's ready smile always shone the brightest when he spoke of your family, another attribute that I admired about him.

My prayers will be with all of you during this most difficult time. I thank God that I was able to have known Mike, he was a blessing on this earth.

Mike, I still can't believe you are no longer with us. My last image of you and the last time I spoke to you was on Monday at the holiday gathering in the Hartford Club. You looked so happy having a good old time dancing on the dance floor. If I knew that was the last time I would see you I would have spent more time chatting with you. I will never forget the times we went out to lunch with Pat, Riccardo and Christine. The last time we went to lunch was when we all got on the city bus to go to Park Street, we went to the spanish restaurant (Aqui Me Quedo), remember? I know I will, always. My condolences go out to your wife and parents and to your little girl who you always spoke about. I know you are watching her from heaven. RIP!!
