Michael Joseph Jennis

Michael I'm so sorry I didn't have a chance to say goodbye we had a great time and growing up in the neighborhood with the kids bubba Jim Alex and you I'm going to miss you I was always jealous of you you could do algebra and I couldn't I love you Alex Pate

Mike and I were friends since working together at the Holiday Inn on Longboat Key in 1979. He was always great to be with laughing and smiling so much. It was a huge joy in his life to have daughters and then grandchildren. Over the more recent years the Christmas CDs he made were really special and wonderful to listen to year after year. I´ll keep doing that and will hold him dear in my heart. Love to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Mike and is missing him now.

He was the nicest man I ever met, wish I spent more time with him. I loved his Christmas CDS he´d give me of some obscure Christmas songs. He will be missed, and remembered. I hope you found piece. - Sincerely, Maximilian Milller.

I believe we celebrated Christmas Eve together for almost 48 years.
I know your having a heavenly joyful reunion with your loved ones.
You will be missed but not forgotten.

We got to know Michael at building 4 at Beachplace. He always had a smile on his face. He was very helpful and made our time here enjoyable. We will miss him. Ann and Andy Friesch

We so loved Michael at Building 5 at Beachplace!! I enjoyed getting to know him over the last 6 years. He was a kind, humble and generous man - always with a smile and happy to see our family each time we would arrive. He will be dearly missed. He talked often about his incredible family and I just wanted you to know how much he loved you all so much!! May his memory be a blessing to all that had the pleasure of crossing his path.

A lovely boating day with family

Kayla and Ariel , I am so sorry. I knew your dad very well years ago. We worked together and shared many wonderful times in the "old" days. He was a special friend and will be remembered fondly by anyone that crossed his path. I remember the day he told me twins were on the way! Your dad was so excited and happy! He loved you dearly. He introduced me to so many different types of books and had a wonderful sense of humor along with a sensitive. Your dad will be missed. May you both find peace in knowing how much he was cared about by the Island. Blessings- Susan

For 32 years Mike you were my dear cats/squirrels buddy neighbor. We bonded over our deep love for animals. We helped each other whenever needed. Since you left, the neighborhood is not the same. But now you are at peace, pain free, surrounded by the ones you loved and by Zeusie, Rubberdubbedubbe, Tweedy, Titus, Biggy and all the furry companions that you loved and loved you. I can see you smiling with one or two purring on your lap. Mike, I am glad you were part of my life. You will be remembered with fondnest. Snoopy G.

Mike will be sorely missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to know him! He was a kind and gentle soul who loved his family so very much. Whenever we crossed paths, he would speak endlessly about his daughters and grandchildren. His pride of his beautiful family was so evident! I regret that I am out of town and won't be back to attend his memorial, but I will most definitely be there in spirit! I am so grateful I got to see Mike one last time before he passed. He always brought a smile to my face......such a special man indeed!!!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Love & miss you dad xxoxxo

Always on our minds and in our hearts

Miss you Dad
