To the Shryock Family,

Mike was truly one of the good guys in the banking industry and life. He treated his clients with professionalism and respect, and he always looked out for his colleagues. He carried himself with quiet honor and had a deep love for his family. A man of both integrity and thoughtfulness.

And man, could he swing a golf club-he knew his way around every course he played.

Larry and Jan,
I was saddened to learn today that you lost your son recently and wanted to express my condolences. Even though I never met him, just knowing the two of you, he would have to be a special person. Sincere Regards.

Shryock Family - Mike was an incredible friend to my father Todd Beja and I am beyond fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend as much time around Mike as I did while growing up. I would often times act as a last minute fourth to their golf rounds, and will forever cherish all the memories I have with Mike. Especially our 1x1 time in Houston before heading to the Astros World Series clinching game. He was an incredible man and will be deeply missed by everyone fortunate enough to have built a relationship with him. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with your entire family during this difficult time.
