My sympathies to Mikes family. I met him while an intern for OPD and saw him again just a few short years ago for CISM. He was a great man. Helpful and kind in 1987 and again more recently. I will always remember that. He will be missed.

Prayers are with family in their time of loss. Mike was a likeable guy and in my experience very positive even when clouds would arise. Mike was the first person to ask me to join the Vietnam Veterans group in CB and Mike was a big help getting the group going. Mike will be missed but the fond memories will always be with me. See ya later Mike

What happy memories I have living next to the Brookover's with only a curb separating our driveways. Mike was a little older, but enjoyed running into him at various events he was working security. Very calm and easy to reminisce and laugh with. Bet heavens really noisey with Dale, my dad Jim, and Mike.
