Sharon & Family, I was so sorry to hear that Mike passed. I remember Mike as a great worker with a great sense of humor. We worked together at St. Gobain for many years and had many fun times. Keeping you all in my thoughts. With sincere sympathy.

My husband was at the Superbowl in 2018 and my car broke down, so our neighbor families came together to make sure all was well and tried to jokingly prank talk me into buying a new car and surprise my husband who’s name is also Michael. So this was the video I send hubby. I am in Suriname when I heard the news. My heart aches. He said good morning the day before I left, he kind of walked towards the mail box but it was too early for the mail. I said beautiful day today Mike, he answered yes it is. We both said have a great day and he walked back into his garage. For a second in the back of my head I thought that was a lil weird.. because it felt like he just came out to say hi to me..he sure did, that was his last goodbye
We lost a great neighbor who was like family to us. Condolences to Sharon, his children and the rest of the family. Beloved Mike RIP

From day one we felt at home with our neighbors. Mike was the one when we first moved in and I was locked out in the garage while my husband was out of town helped me get back in
