Utterly heartbroken. I will miss talking to him. Michael never had anything bad to say about anybody and I never saw him without a smile on his face. He loved his family, and he loved his daughter. Michael was a good one. Prayers to him and his family.

Robert, Linda and family, I am so sorry to see that Michael passed. I always loved when he came into the office at Ifky's . He spoke with much love of Madilyn. I last saw him at Valley and caught up with him about family and me now working at Just Born. Love and hugs to you all. God Bless.

I've never met anyone quite like Mike. He made everyone feel so special and he is going to be greatly missed. My prayers go out to his family. He spoke so lovingly of all of you and his daughter was his world. I hope in time memories of him and what a genuine loving guy he was help to ease the pain. He really was a special guy.
