Holly, I do not go on social media, so I have no recent contact information for you. I miss talking with you. When I saw this today I was saddened and remembered how much Michael loved my butterscotch fudge. If you send your phone number to the e-mail address I provided, I'll call you and we can catch up. Looking forward to hearing from you! Desiree lives in Leland now. Cathy

I was privileged to know and work with Mike at U. S. Steel's Public Relations Department. I admired his enthusiasm, talent and optimistic outlook. He was a good friend. My prayers are there.

I worked with Mike at St. George in the late 80's. I set Mike up with Holly via a blind date. I remember that he was as nervous as a High School boy going on his first date. Thats what I will remember most about Mike, he was all business but his personal life came first. Doug Brendel Pittsburgh

Dear Holly, Maddy & Alex,
I heard about Michael passing by email. Holly I am so sorry for your loss. For me personally Holly, Michael was always a special man and a dear friend.
Working with Michael was always interesting and exciting. I can recall when you lived in Bear Rocks and I would pick Michael up and go to work together. Those were the happiest days of my life and the most exciting working with Michael at Sony. As a manager, he treated me with respect and helped me to reach my goals and over come my weaknesses. As a member of the Corporate Communications Department at Sony, I felt as a team we could do anything and Michael made it happen. We had many laughs of things that could have gone wrong but we managed to pull it together. I can recall whenever I would ask him about you, Alex and Maddy he always had a huge smile on his face. Then he would tell me what everyone was interested at the time.
Whenever I would call or send an email, he was always quickly to respond and ready to help. We always took a few minutes to laugh about something or even at ourselves.
I will miss him and I believe I am a better person for knowing him.
Take great care,
Jim Roscart

It was always a pleasure to work with Michael at Sony. And so, I was gratified to continue our relationship through correspondence and calls in the years since 2009 when we both left. I hope that his memory will be a treasure to the family and community of friends now bereft.

Michael was the Pittsburgh connection at the Sony plant.
I was there 15 years and everytime you would pass him in the halls he would have a warm hello.
