Gayle and Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences during this time of a sad loss of a dear man. I had the privilege of working with Mike at Safety-Kleen. As a matter of fact, Mike is the person who hired me and helped launch my career at Safety-Kleen. For that I gratefully remember him fondly. I also knew Mike as a very kind-hearted, proud family-man, and generous soul. Our loss is heaven's gain. My best wishes to you and your family.

Gayle and family - I am so saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man. He had a heart of gold. Please remember him with a smile knowing how much he loved and cherished you all. He was so proud of the life you had made together. Love and prayers to you. I will think of him with special fondness as my peach irises (split from your garden) peak up from the ground every year.

I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I worked closely with him at ArmaKleen/Safety-Kleen and always had the upmost respect for Mike's knowledge and passion for our business. More importantly, Mike was a friend who will always be remembered fondly.

Gayle,
So sorry to hear of Mike's sudden passing. We had a great friendship and I valued his ability to face tough challenges without getting ruffled. This is an awful way to start the new year for you and all your family. We will be praying for you in the coming weeks.

I worked for Mike at Safety-Kleen for many years. We continued to work together as I now work for Precision Laboratories and Mike worked at Nuance. The companies have a close relationship. Mike has always been a good friend and mentor to me, and I will miss him sorely. Love you Mike, John Dingess
