I Played softball with Mike for years. I always marveled at the incredible distance he could hit the ball. He was a God on the diamond at shortstop. Most of all Mike was a gentlemen

My heartfelt condolences to all who Mike leaves behind, including his family, friends and co-workers at Crestview. I can't imagine the pain and suffering his kids and grandchildren are experiencing, so soon after the tragic loss of their mother / grandmother. My sympathies to Steve who has now lost a sister, brother-in-law and business partner. This is such a tragedy, and I still am in shock after learning this morning of his passing, when I called to talk to him about a problem with my car. I always enjoyed coming in and talking to him when my car was in need of Crestview's expertise. My thoughts and prayers are with his survivors.

Herman and I were so sad to hear of Mike's passing. He was always so cheerful and helpful to me. When he believed I needed a new car, he told me so even though it meant that I would not be bringing it to Crestview for service until the warranty wore out in 4 years. I will miss seeing him when I do start bringing my car in (in 2 years).

We are shocked and so saddened by Mike's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family & friends. To experience this when Lois' passing is still so painful must be very difficult. We will always have the memories of Mike & Lois in our hearts. Frank & Roni Diaz (St George, Utah)
