So sorry Connie. Ed and I cherished the time we spent with Mike during the planning of our house. We were very sad that our build did not take place. The timing and changes to the neighborhood . Mike was so kind to inform us. We have never forgot this. What a gentle man he was. Many condolences to you and your family.

Connie, Forrest and I are so sorry for your loss. Mike was a gentleman and a fantastic builder. I've always told Forrest if we weren't in the industry, Mike is the person I'd want building my house because of his integrity, sincerity, keen sense of humor, and knowledge. May God bless you and your family at this difficult time.
With our Deepest Sympathy,
Cory and Forrest
