MY DEAR UNCLE
So many thoughts,
in my head.
So many things,
left unsaid.
You left that day,
without a glance.
Never knowing God,
wasn't giving you a second chance.
What was in your head,
the last moments you had.
I hope you had happy thoughts,
and not sad.
No one can ever take your place.
Your image in my heart will never erase.
As you smile one me from up above.
I love you dear uncle you meant the world to me.

Deri,
Mike was such a good friend and neighbor to me since the day we moved in. I will miss his friendship, his fun loving wit, our afternoons sharing a beer, and his hand always extended in friendship whenever I needed a hand. I am here to help you whenever you need me. Please ask. You are always in our prayers. John White

I'm so sorry to hear about Mike. I knew him from Gowan several years ago. He was special, always kind and good natured, and had a sense of fun about him. I can still remember his little grin. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you deal with your loss.

The first time I met Mike I thought, "what a cool guy". That was at least 12 to 14 years ago and I still feel the same way. Deryl, Katie, Roi, and Molly I love you guys.

I met Mike 20 years ago. I worked for him as an apprentice and he was the foreman. I always enjoyed talking with Mike and learning from the vast experience and knowledge that he had. He is greatly missed already and always will be. My condolences go out to his family and all that had the pleasure of knowing Mike.

I Never had the pleasure of meeting Mike nor his Family, but I have heard alot about Mike over the years from my Dad John who just recently retired from Local 54. My Dad would share story's with our family about how big of a Heart he had for his family & Son-in-Law. I am Honored that my Dad and Uncle & Brother-in-Law and Husband had the pleasure of working with Mike. My Heart goes out to Mike's entire Family & his Friends.

Mike was a friend and fellow worker, though I worked as a pipefitter. Mike worked with me a Texaco for a while and I grew to like and respect him.We remained friends even after I moved on to different aspects.He was a great friend. He will be greatly missed by all. The world is a sadder place, but knowing Mike he will be banging away up there.

Mike will be missed by a lot of people that his family never even met. I worked with and for Mike, and he was always supportive, treated you like you were his family. He talked a lot about being a Grandpa and his love for his family. May God, friends,and loved ones help and support you through this time of grief.

Mike was co-worker, a friend, a source of humor, and a great, gentle man. His departure leaves a hole in my heart and a sadness that will be difficult to overcome. We’ll miss you Mike.
