Michael was one of the finest men I've had the pleasure of knowing for over 22years. He was also a great neighbor always willing to lend a hand if the occasion arose. I will miss him deeply. My sincere condolences for his family. I know he is with the angels. Rest in peace Michael.

Mike was THEE BEST painter ever! He has painted our house and lots of our relatives and friends homes as well. EVERYONE loved him and the work he did. He & my husband would get on the roof and check out leaks and he´d recommend products and they´d chat away. The first time he painted for us I was cooking chili and he kept saying "that sure smells good" so I made up bowls full for him & his helper and they sat on the patio eating lunch. After that he said he´d only paint for us again if I was making chili! So every time he came I made him chili and packed some up for him to take home. When he gave a quote for painting my newly-wed granddaughters new home (and quickly) he told her "only if you´re Gramma makes me Chili For Life!" So I agreed and we brought over a big pot when he came to paint. He was such a good guy and it was clear he really loved his wife & family. Not only Dan and I, but all our family and friends that knew "Mike the painter" are heart broken to hear of his passing. He surely will be missed. God Bless his family and may they be comforted knowing he´s with the Lord. Love and prayers,
Sincerely, Dan & "the chili lady" Janice
