I have just found this page.It was extreamly comforting to see so many people respond. There are no words to express the loss that I feel and that everyone that Mikes life touched must feel.I think of all the times we shared jokes and smiles together.Mike had a way to brighten everyone day. There was no one that could touch Mikes ability on the job. His knowledge was enormous to say the least, but more than that Mike would share his knowledge with anyone who would ask.
I know this, that now all of heavens water problems are now over, as Mike is on the job.
God Bless You Mike who showed us all how to live our lives to make a difference.

What can anyone say to express the impact Mike had on people professionaly and personally. I've spent many hours on the phone with Mike and there was nobody better, period! This large void will never be filled. It was an honor to work and know you my friend.

Professionally and personally, we suffered a great loss by the passing of Mike Cool. I've known Mike for over 25 years and always felt he would do anything to help you out. My thoughts and blessings are with the Cool family. I know he will be greatly missed.

In my 20 years with Culligan, I have never met a more knowlegeable nor personable man than Mike. I only knew him for four years through SAC. From our first meeting there was instant respect, and immediate friendship. I will miss our personal communications and the jokes we shared. May God bless you Mike, and yours, and keep you by his side.

If a man's wealth could be measured by the number of people he influenced and how many lives he touched, then Mike Cool was an extremely wealthy man indeed.
I had the great privilege to meet and work with Mike for a little over three years. It didn't take long to develop a great sense of respect for Mike, both as a person and as a true professional. I am deeply saddened by Mike's departure and will miss him greatly. At the same time I celebrate the time that I did get to share with him. So long my friend, my colleague and mentor. A tip of the “FTT CAP” to you.

Mike will be remmbered for his true professionalism and his open view of the people he worked, trained and joked with. A persons life is sumed up in the journey and the path they lsft behind and Mike cut a mighty wide swath earning respect and admiration from many. I thank the powers that be that I had a chance to visit with my friend one last time face to face before he moved on. Mike was a good husband and father the old Eaton hats off to you buddy.

I keep thinking that if I wait long enough the words to honor my father will come to me. The fact is now words will ever express the love he had for me and I for him. He loved me and supported me even when I made the dumbest choices possible. He was proud of me even though I didn't give him enough to be proud of. I love my
Dad more than anything in this world and I don't know what to do without him or who I am without him. I can only pray that he can rest in peace free from the discomfort he experienced in the end and full of the knowledge of how all of you felt for him. I love you Dad and I wish I would have said it 10,000 more times than I did. Until I see you again, I love you with my whole heart!

Mike was a professional. His contributions to the Service Advisory Council and to the entire Culligan System will be dearly missed. Almost as much as his mentoring to become a better person, but none more than his friendship. As we look back, it is the memories we have created that will be remembered, Mike created more than a few. Thank you to the Cool family for sharing Mike with us. He will be missed...

One of the strongest willed men I ever knew - and one of the smartest. Mike would do whatever it took to fix or teach something. He will be missed dearly, and the world will seem a bit less colorful.

Mike Cool is gone. Cool is gone. The wit, the stories, the friendship, the inventive genius, the Culligan historian, the sage of the Northwest is gone.
Life will not be as colorful, my friend, Mike Cool is gone.
Miss you Mike.

I also only knew Mike thru Culligan, I served the last 4 years on the Service Advisory Counsil with him. He helped to make the new guy feel like he belonged. Mike was what we all at Culligan strive to be. A Real Culligan Man. Mike you will be missed by all that you touched with your Wisdom and Humor

Mike will be sorely missed by many, many people! He was among the most knowledgeable in his craft of any in his career. He had more effect than we may even understand and will leave a void behind.
I will personally miss him.

He will be missed by all in the system for his desire to help with service problems and he held service schools in the field which was a big help to all the dealers.

I was deeply saddened to here about your loss! I only knew Mike from the Culligan system, but quickly realized that he was the go to guy whenever we had an issue. He would always answer the phone and help. He set a great example of loyalty, honesty, and determination. I cannot express how great of a loss this is to our Culligan system and most importantly your family. He will be missed by all.

I'm very sorry for the loss of a great individual like Mike. I would like to express my heart felt sympathy to his family. I've had the great pleasure of knowing Mike for several years as a service technician recieving training from him as well as my time on the Service Advisory Council with him. Mike epitomized the phrase "Culligan Man". Mike was a true professional in every way, always willing to help out with a tough problem or to just be there as a sounding board. He was very proud of his wife and family and spoke of them often. I miss Mike very much and feel blessed to have had him as a friend. Godspeed to you Mike.

My condolences to Mr. Cool's family as I can only imagine how much he will be missed, but know that I will miss him great deal as well. I have known Mike my entire Culligan career and am not sure what I will do without his extensive knowledge and great personality. I feel extremely privileged to have known him and will always remember him fondly.

Mike Cool, the big brother I never had; patiently showing me how to hand pack grease into a wheel bearing, guiding me through the rebuilding of that 1948 Willy’s Jeep transmission, helping to decipher those “exploded” drawings in the Chilton repair manuals, endless hours trying to weld rusted sheet metal, supplying that much needed third hand at critical times and always showing sincere interest in me and all my repair projects. Your smile and laughed are permanently etched into my brain; you will live on in my memory in so many wonderful ways and for that I say “Thank You”.
Sincerely, Brook Ellingwood.

So sorry for the loss of a great person. Mike was my supervisor and boss while I worked at Culligan. The best boss I have ever had. He always took the time to instruct and to teach instead of reprimand. One of a kind person, he will be missed. My sympathy to Polly and the family. Fair winds and smooth sailing Mike!
