Prior to my moving back to Houston in 1984, Mike and I were avid tennis players at the Hattiesburg Country Club. We paired up against Dr. Ben Carmichael and Dr. Bill Brundage, went into overtime, and finally defeated them. I remember how big our trophies were. My was stolen out of my office during the process of packing everything up to move. Mike and I played so much together we got to the point we could tell what the other one was going to do before he did it.
I was sadden when he and Janet both went to be with their Lord.

To the entire family of Michael J. Landry, especially Janet, Chris and Briant.

Sally and I were saddened to hear the news of Mike's death. He was a good friend whom we felt privileged to know. We will always remember the fun times we shared, especially in the Rotary Club of Hattiesburg and the Hattiesburg Civic Light Opera.

Mike's contributions to the community were numerous and noteworthy. This plus his professional skills and significant accomplishments set him high above average. Mike will not be forgotten.

Much love, Garland and Sally Sullivan

Michael lived a full life that is an inspiration to us all. Godspeed Cousin, see you on the other side.

Just to let you know that Mike was always extremely courteous and respectful never forgetting to acknowledge any small thing I did in my work with he and Landry thru Mac's Construction. He was never conscious of class distinction as it pertains to a position, and he went out of his way
to be a kind, personable professional. This was not expected, and is not the norm in today's world. It is a testament to his parents that both he and David are such kind, generous men. It was a pleasure to work with and know him. Thank you, Mike.

Janet,

Just wanted you and your family to know that I'm thinking of you at this time and am keeping you in my prayers.

I will always cherish the great moments Mike and I had together, both "on and off" the tennis court, etc.

No one can ever take that away.
