Mike you will be missed by many. Glad to have you as a mechanic so many times while I had the easy job of welding some of the tubes at the local power plants. So many good times remembered whether it was carpooling, on the job or at many of the different functions outside of work, Clam bakes Christmas parties or just enjoying a beer after work. Thoughts and prayers for all who were part of your daily life.

A child hood friend will never be forgotten. Memories of the past become ones of happiness and long lived.
Mooch, rest in peace.

Mike was one of my best friends. I spent tons of quality times with him fishing, rafting down the Lehigh River, or just having fun as young adults. He was always happy and full of life. I will miss him. Mark S.

Thank you, Uncle Mike, for every moment we spent together. Moments that will never fade or be forgotten. Moments filled with love, happiness, friendship, and laughter-moments that were full of life. They will forever echo in my heart.

Love,
Johnny and Jen Clark

I have a home across from Mike and Diane. Mike loved his wife and grandchildren. He shared food with his neighbors and cats; LOL. He was very friendly.

I knew Mike through my brother Mark and good friends Neil and Dave. We all referred to him as Mooch, he was a " fun loving guy"
