Ever smiling and gone too soon. A memorable soul who managed to encourage me through some pretty tough times with upbeat texts from across the miles. A "footprint" was left with all who knew him. Rest well my friend... you earned your wings!

I really dont have words for how sweet and kind Mike Genna was. I only had the pleasure of knowing him for about four months, but in that time span, I came away with so much admiration and respect fir him. I will always remember him and what he stood for. He will be greatly missed and I am sure He is at peace now with Jesus.

As a coworker and friend, I was always surprised how cheerful and respectful Mike was to work with. He loved people by taking time with them, laughing at a new joke, being with is dogs and driving fast cars (sometimes on two wheels leaving work). He was missed the moment we found out. My deepest sympathy and prayers to his family.

Beginning in 1988, I knew Mike as a great co-worker...one of the greats of Crusader! I was fortunate to bring Mike down to NC for the Ilmor Marine startup where his versatility was vital to our successful launch and he formed the service department for the company in short order. Now in 2018, as he has taken the "Stairway to Heaven", I can say I knew him as one of my dearest friends.

Mike was always cheerful and helpful on the phone when I needed something, and his Crusader knowledge helped those of us who try to work on engines without new parts available. He will truly be missed as part of the PCM family. My sincere condolences to all.

I worked with Mike in one capacity or another for 21 years. He was family, friend, fellow car nut, confidant. I will miss him more that he will ever know and I am sorry I never told him how much he meant. I know his family will miss him and I look to seeing him again some day. If there are cars in heaven I am sure he is finding the fastest one.

Mike was one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet. He was our resident Crusader engine expert and both customers and dealers alike would always ask for him by name. He always had a smile on his face and upbeat attitude. I'll miss his sweet spirit and hearing him rev that hot rod engine of his. To his family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
