Yesterday

I am deeply saddened to hear the loss of my dear friend Mr. Mike, as I fondly referred to him. I had the privilege of working closely with him during his years of service to Concord High School. Mike was a man of quick wit who generously shared his knowledge with those he cared about. My heart felt prayers and deepest condolences go out to his family and friends during this very difficult time. Mr. Mike will be surely missed.

In Loving Memory of Mike

I´m deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend and colleague, Mike. He had a special way of lighting up my classroom every time he stopped by, and the hallways of Concord High School felt brighter when he was around. His quick wit and warm personality could lift anyone's spirits-he was always sure to make you laugh. Mike will be missed more than words can express. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who had the joy of knowing him.
