Just hearing this now... I met Mike at WMU around 1970. He was in my PE bowling class and we realized we were both avid fishermen. We fished for years together for trout and salmon in small streams, rivers, lakes and Lake Michigan. I left MI long ago and lost touch. So sorry to hear of his passing and wish the best healing for Janet and the boys.

Mike was my best friend. We served in the U.S. Navy together from 1967 thru 1969 on the island of Guam and in Viet Nam. He was the best man at my wedding and we spoke every week. RIP my friend.

I´m so saddened to hear of Mike´s passing. I can´t think of my childhood without remembering Wojo´s big, friendly voice as he walked up our driveway to bring us fish from one if his trips, Christmas goodies, or just as a friendly neighbor to say "Hi." I am thinking of you and sending prayers during your time of loss Janet, Joe, and Mikey.

Mr. Woj is the sole reason I love history! He was such a special human with a gift to win over the hearts of his students year after year. He made everyone feel seen and he had the best jokes. His zest for life will be fondly remembered. Rest easy Mr. Woj. Holding his family close to my heart.

Mr. Wojciechowski ("where´s your house key" :) was a teacher of mine about 20 years ago, and he stands out in my memory. He was genuinely funny, blunt, grounded, and really cared for his students. My heart goes out to his loved ones. I am sure he will be sorely missed.

Mike was a big hearted man with a big personality. We've been lucky to have him as a friend and neighbor for 40 years. We will remember him fondly for his thoughtfulness as a neighbor, for bringing us fresh fish and his magnificent Christmas cookies. So many years of laughs and good conversations; gone too soon. Our love and prayers for peace for Janet, Joe and Mike.

Spent many years teaching next door to Mike, stealing his coffee, stealing ideas and sharing fish stories. Mike made a big difference in the lives of a lot of students. My sympathy to Janet and the boys.

Woj was one of my all time favorite teachers. I ran into him a few times over the years, it was always good to see him. He gave me the nickname Arlo because of my last name (it stuck through high school). I'll never forget him, my prayers go out to his family.

He was one of my favorite teachers. He loved to pick on us girls cause we struggled with history. But deep down we know he loved us. Haven´t seen him in years but the last time I did it was in meijer and he remembered me. May he rest in Peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. "Woj" was, if not a father figure, at least that goofy, loving uncle that everyone enjoys. During my 18 years at DKMS, we used to say that they built the school around him. I mean that in jest, and out of respect.

First spelling test of year (6th grade) we had to learn to spell his name, read Treasure Island and build our own forts from the book, so many popsicle sticks. Was ecstatic that he was the our History teacher in 8th grade. Saw Mr Woj a couple years ago at Meijer in Plainwell, he never forgot a student.
One of my favorite memories was Marvin Haven would always say posta (in stead to supposed to) Mr. Woj would always say "posta, that's what you tie a horse ta) Great Teacher, Mentor and Friend.
Rest Easy Mr Woj
