Mr. Underhill was my favorite Teacher. His descriptions of JFK, the Civil War and other Historical events will stay with me always. Having him for a teacher was the best part about school. I was so surpised and saddened to hear about his passing. My prayers are with you.

We knew Mike Underhill very well. When I was working at St. Lukes during the summer I had seen him in the cafeteria. He always loved to read the newspaper but he also loved spending time with loved ones such as family, and friends. He also loved to go on trips. He will be in our prayes and memories.

We're so sorry for your loss. Mike was one of the nicest neighbors we've ever had. We always looked into the garage for a friendly wave as we drove by and almost every time, there was Mike offering up his usual with gusto. What a fantastic guy.

You're in our prayers and hearts as you process through this tough time of adjustment.
