This was the best father I could ever have had and I wouldn't have asked for any other dad. The last time I saw him physically, I was 6 years old. Now I am 12 as of last month. He will forever be missed

Mike was always kind, generous and able to bring a smile to my face. He taught me to wrestle when we were in Jr. High and I was new to the sport. I was blessed to know him and we will all miss him. Our deepest sympathies go out to Sharon and Mike's family. Sorry Carey and I could not be there but our prayers are with you and your family.

Mike-
You were a great example for young men to follow. You were our baby-sitter, our hero as a high school wrestler and at times even our coach. We have all been touched by a great man!

Mike was a fabulous guy that I knew from years ago. A great, loyal friend; funny, smart, and looked out for his friends. The years may go by and friends may lose touch, but some stay in your heart forever. My thoughts go out to his wife and children and I know Mike will live on in your hearts forever.

To the Saks Family,

I taught with Mike's dad, Joe, for years before meeting Mike in a week-long summer course for graduate credit shortly after he started teaching. I don't remember much about the course, but I do know that I sat near Mike so our banter would make the time pass quicker. Funny, bright, and energetic, Mike made life lighter and better for a whole lot of people. My family will remember you all in our prayers as you find your way, a step at a time, on the journey ahead.

I sat in front of Mike in Physics class at North Penn. A mysterious someone from behind me would frequently pull on my hair but, when I looked around, Mike was always smiling innocently. Wonder who it could have been? To his wife and children, I am so sorry for your loss. Mike certainly kept high school physics interesting and always seemed to have something to smile about.

I remember Mike coming to my parents house in Green Lane before wrestling matches at Upper Perk. He loved pancakes and sausage! Mike was one of the special North Penn wrestlers, and always held a special place in the hearts of my family. God Bless you Mike, and your loving family. Amy(Davis) Zyck.

I am so happy to have had time to reconnect with Mike, a year ago, at Bones Grill, for our High School Reunion. I had no idea at that time what he had gone through. I do remember having a grand time checking out his goatee:) As always, he was the consummate gentleman, handsome, full of life, happy. I will miss you Mike Saks. Rest in Peace. Keep an eye on all of us down here. All my love, Julee Wenhold Kerr

I was very happy to see Mike Saks last year at the multi NP class get together . It was very many years since I seen him. What made Mike special was he wasn't pretensious and was always an upbeat person. He's in Heaven now teaching children Angels or teaching them to wrestle. Mike will be missed here on earth

To my favorite High School teacher,

It was an honor to have known you, and to have been lucky enough to be one of your students. You took a kid hopeless at Math and pushed me to a B. I'll miss our conversations about Metallica, and your great sense of humor. See you again one day buddy. To Sharon, Cooper, Lauren, and the entire family, my heart goes out to you.
