We coincidentally encountered Mike, but it seems there's no such thing as accidents in God's plan. Mike blessed us in numerous ways.

I have always said my favorite Derby was spending it with you and Mike in the Old Turf club. You would drop him off, he would be first in line to run to Turf club and get a table. I was so very fortunate to get to know him that day. What a Gentleman and host. I felt so honored to wander in the Turf Club with a "walk around" armband and be invited to sit down. My heart breaks for you. I know how much you two adored each other. Bacon and burgers in the pocket for you, compliments of Mike. You were one lucky lady to have a love like that. Cherish all those wonderful memories. He will be watching over you as always.

Jan/Jane can´t stop thinking of mike tonight how awesome of a person he was and challenged me in my early years to reach for the stars. He will always be a very important part of my life.

I have known Mike for about 16 years, first as a contractor at my place of employment and then as a great friend. I always knew that when Faulkner Real Estate hired Mike that the job was going to be done right with little or no problems. It was then that I got to know him as a friend. I will truly miss his friendship. He was a master of hospitality. The dove hunts were incredible. so much fun. And when I would call and ask him if it was ok to fish he would always say yes and want me to call and tell how I did. It was a great talking to him. You're going to be missed buddy.
