Cookie and family,
So very sorry for your loss. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

My good friend and Stepdad just passed away in Battle Creek Michigan after a long battle with Lewy body dementia. He ended his time on this plane of existence peacefully after touching so many lives. He was a great guy, very kind and thoughtful to those around him. He was a huge fan of the Yankees and Tony Gwynn since he went to school in San Diego and was a baseball fan. I remember his willingness to let me pitch baseballs to him for what seemed to be hours as hard as I could a few years after he married my mom. Gone too soon but never will he be forgotten.

The loss of someone this special is very hard to accept ... He always gave the best of himself ...at work and at play. The best boss I ever had for over 15 years and even though the years have been many, his patience, kindness, guidance, friendship and advice will always be with me. He gave me opportunities to learn and grow and have guided me to where I am today.

Never to be forgotten Boss ... I keep my Irish Blessing Coin close!

We are deeply saddened to learn of Mike's passing. He was a wise and thoughtful person who was generous with his time and talents. We always found Mike to a be calm and soft-spoken presence in anything we were involved in together. He will be missed. Our prayers to Diane and the family.

Mike was a very kind gentleman. Hugs to all the family members during this difficult adjustment. My thoughts are with you.

Mike will be always remembered for his dedicated work for the City of Battle Creek, Planning Director; as he held so much history that he could provide at the drop of a hat and was an excellent boss and friend to many.

Remembering Mike loved his coffee and music and could state song names and who sung them by memory; also loved a good dark beer on occasion and believe he took pride in his Irish heritage. Always had a smile.

God bless you Mike and may God hold you in his hands.

RIP Michael! You lived a good life. See you on the other side!
