Dear Jim, Mary, Holly, Chip and Joe, How deeply saddened I am to learn of Michael's death... so many fond memories... I remember watching him play football for the Williamsville Billies and run track for them too... skiing at Glenwood Acres and Kissing Bridge... and watching him play football for Baldwin-Wallace. He was a fine boy, and grew up into an even finer man. Please know that you and his family are in my prayers.
My warmest regards,
Lynn Cope

I knew him for a short time, but during that time I had the privilege to get to know him as a pleasant man and kind soul. As the physician assistant with Dr. Michael Chizner not only was I involved in his medical care, I was blessed to come across those people most dear to Michael doro, most important his loving family. Holly I admire your strength during these difficult times. Life is so fragile. Nobody can conceive how to be prepared for these sudden Sharp turns in life. May God bring you and your family his divine comfort, peace, and healing for your ailing mind, heart, and soul in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
