I first knew Mike when I started as a programmer trainee in 1966. He was always in a good mood and smiling and helpful. Always liked to see him at the old timer's luncheons. He will be remembered in a very good way.

Every time I played Land Park I would see Mike watching me swing. He sat in his car on the 3rd hole. He was such a great person to talk with and he shared many stories about my dad. I cherish them stories. You will be missed Mike but I am sure you are playing unlimited rounds of golf now with all your friends! RIP sir...

Eric Cameron and the Swiss Buda Family send our deepest condolences and prayers to the Bakatich Family. He was a regular and a friend to us all. He and I had so many baseball/softball conversations bartender/patron, but also as I believe as friends. I'm proud to have known him. What a gentle soul.

I remember working in the BOE Computer room with Michael in charge of the three shifts like it was yesterday. Michael is with his lovely wife now and he will be missed.

May his family find peace in the many memories made over the past 8 decades and know that love lives on for eternity. Now Michael will be one of your angels watching over the family.

Michael you will be missed by many coworkers, family and friends. You made working with you easy and meaningful. You were funny and had great stories to tell. You enjoyed life with so much spirit and made being around you fun. I will miss seeing you at the Oldtimer's luncheons and reminiscing about the experiences i was able to share working with you. We always had fun playing in golf tournaments and parties that you and Lorraine would have at your home. Thank you for the memories. I will miss you Mike❤ My condolences to your family.
