My 2022 message still stands as 100% accurate in Mike's memory. A great guy who lived a good and honest and patriotic life. Although our lives after high school followed different paths, our bond as classmates remains strong forever. I salute you, Mike. Jim Carey, BHS Class of 1956

I was thinking of Mike just the other day. We were good friends in high school, Class of 1956, and were teammates on the basketball team. Mike was truly "one of the good guys" in our high school class and a good friend in every way. I continue to miss him as I'm sure his family also does. May he rest in eternal peace after a life well and honorably lived in service to his country, his family, and all his friends. Jim Carey, Berlin High School Class of 1956

Kris & the rest of the family. I was sad to hear of your dad's passing. It was always so much fun hanging out at your house growing up. Your dad was a very kind man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sue, even though we only had the opportunity to get together with you and Mike during our class reunions, those moments are fondly remembered and cherished. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family now and will be with all of you in the days to come.

Mike & I were both in the Berlin High School Class of 1956. We were on the basketball team together and good friends. I was unaware of his Marine Corps service and salute him for that service to his country. A truly good and caring person, I'm sure he will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace, Mike, after a life well and honorably lived. Your Friend, Jim Carey
