I will remember Mike for his great personality, corny but funny jokes and his huge, caring heart. He will be missed by all, but memories of him will make us smile and laugh-which is something he would truly love. Rest in peace, Mike.

Mike will be truly missed; he was a good friend and excellent coworker. He could lighten and brighten everyone's day just from his presence. He had a story for every situation; the best and most hilarious were from his Navy days. We will think of him often with warm thoughts and good memories.
