I have only known Mike For about 8 Yrs now and he was a strong, intense, caring, responsible, and appreciated man. I am going to have to adjust to the idea that he's in Heaven now and will not be around to answer my crazy questions. Which he had to explain many things to me over the yrs. Like real estate when his son James and I were searching for our 1st home together, when something would be wrong with my car... he was the 1st person I'd call to say my cars doing this/that...then he'd say "it's 1 of 2 things"...normal for him to say to me. He earned my respect, tried to influence me for my future, was an important "rock" of our family that we will definitely have to adjust to him no longer being here to lean on, physically anyways. I have had a hard time getting through this week, but I am trying to be strong for HIS Sons James & Chris, And especially his beautiful wife Beth.
Mike you will be missed very much by all of us especially your beautiful grand daughters. Atleast you can be an angel to watch over them. Thank you for being in my life and allowing me to be in yours. I really will miss you.
Love Always, Mia

Dear Beth and Family,
Our hearts are with you in the loss of your loving husband and father. The world was a much better place with Mike in it. Mike was the most genuine and intense person I have ever met. Always standing up for what was right and always doing his best to do the right thing. I am grateful to have known him and to have worked with him for so many years. His wit and humor always made it a better day. His bursts of laughter and cocky cackle will forever echo through the shop at AE. He is truly unforgettable. Live strong as he would want nothing more for his wife and his boys.
