Sincere condolences to the Paynter family during this difficult time. Carol and I are also HSHS and VCU alumni and the Springer and Ram families have lost a loved one. On this new journey, be intentional to take care of one of another because no one should every journey alone when a loved has received their crown of glory. Respectfully, Bobby and Carol.

Me and Mike worked together for many years. We fought, argued, learned from each other, drank together, and broke bread together. We always had each other's back no matter what. We both had a strong passion for our trade...we wanted to deliver the best road possible. I will miss him.q

Mike was one of the greatest men we have ever worked with. His positive attitude, his willingness to pass on his knowledge to others, his laughter, and his temper will be missed. He was this construction industry. He was a perfectionist when it came to the job. Mike you are already terribly missed. There is a big void in our companies family it will never be the same without you. Continue to guide us and look over all of us. R.I.P.

I was saddened to hear of Mike´s passing. Our hearts go out to the family in this time of grieving. Mike was a great person and friend. We played football together at Highland Springs but he was so much more than a teammate. May your memories sustain you and the Lord continue to walk with you.
