Please forgive me. I didn't know until I got on facebook. Mike and I went to Hume lake together the summer of 85. I remember he looked so much like Kevin Bacon. We had such a great time with that. It's been several years. I didn't know. What a great husband and father I'm sure he was. I am so sorry. A good friend. God bless him, his wife and sons, Again, I'm so sorry for your loss

My deepest sympathy to the Wilson family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mike was such a kind and friendly person. I worked briefly with him on a project but he always took the time to say hello and chat briefly when i would see him around work. My last conversation with him was on the last day before he went on vacation. I remember asking him if he planned on moving to Texas. He said that he could not because he would not be able to see his boys. May god bless his sons and wife. Know that you were truly loved.

Mike, I still am laughing out loud over so many things that you said or did. You were an honest, kind hearted person
who treated others fairly. I miss the days when they made fun of you because of your shirts. I hope your family will take comfort in knowing that you loved them so deeply you expessed it to your friends and coworkers. You are missed now and even more when we understand you are actually gone from here.
