I miss Mike so much. Every time I need to ask someone a question about a lab procedure or just chat with someone about a weird result, I start to dial the Phone and realize that he is not with me anymore. Mike, if you are listening, I miss you, Buddy. I know that I will see you again.

Saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I worked with Mike 20 years ago at Pace and every few years would touch base with him for support of Environmental testing needs in Florida. He had a great sense of humor and was honest and a straight up guy. My deepest condolences to his family.

My brother Brian and I were childhood friends of Chris. I remember Mike from when several of us neighbor kids would hang out at their house and go swimming. Our heartfelt condolences to the entire family and all of his friends.

I have known Mike Palmer since Simmons, we ran with the same crowd at East. I recall a house party of his where the Alan Parsons flowed like wine. I offer my condolences to his family and friends. Mike was a very stand up person, and I have no doubt he'll be missed.

Mike was a dear friend and critical member of our environmental team here at Cardno. We are all devastated by his loss and will miss him greatly. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable on all matters of chemistry, he always represented the highest ethical standards in the business and a great perspective of what was important in life. All our best to the family, who feel like an extension of our family

I'm impressed and sorry to hear the sad news of Mr. Mike's passing. I remember 12 years ago when we first moved, he was the first person to come and welcome us in the neighborhood. We will definitely miss his smily face even on very sunny days while mowing his yard. I know there are no words of comfort for his wife and children, but our hearts go out to them. Our most sincere and deepest condolences to his family and friends.

It is impossible to express my sadness at hearing the news of Michael's passing. I met Michael at the University of Tampa back in the early 80'S. We were on the Crew team together for one year. We had reconnected a couple of years ago at a UT event. An extremely likable and honorable person, he was so enthusiastic in expressing his love or his wife and children. He relished in the successes of both children Danny and Kelly. To Lori, Kelly and Danny, there are no adequate words I can find which would offer sufficient comfort during this extremely difficult time. My deepest sympathy to you and your family

I am so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I first met Mike way back in the summer of 1972 when we played on the same little league baseball team in Aurora - Metal Polishers Green. We became good friends when we attended Simmons Jr. High School and East Aurora High School. Mike was one of my best friends at East High and I enjoyed all of the times we hung out together. We reconnected at our 30th high school reunion a few years ago and it was great to see Mike - he hardly seemed to have aged at all over these years. I was definitely blessed to have Mike as a great friend during my school years! My prayers are with Mike, Lori, Kelly, Danny and all of his family and friends. Rest in peace my friend. I hope to see you again some day!
