This is a letter my 15 year old daughter wrote to her papa & it was read on his funeral day.............As I look out of my window sill as the rain drops pour against the roof, I find it coincidental that the day has turned dark since I found out the news that has caused a turning point in my life, I had a dream last night that can only be described as the playback pictures recall in my mind. It cannot be expressed in words, but I can that I wish it was real, as I recall all of the memories, the pictures I have can only record pieces, I find traces of you everywhere I go, is it silly to cry? Is it silly to ask why you have to go when I want you to stay here with me? You're so brave, braver than I would be, you realize that dying isnt the end but a new beginning. And that this next life is permanent. You comfort me when I should comfort you, because its the type of person you are. Selfless, caring and putting others before you. I wanted to be just like you, I still do, but in a different sense now that I'm older, I can see more of the everlasting good qualities that come to you so effortlessly, I wanted to read just like you, to be able to answer people's questions when they ask you, to get questions correct on Jeopardy. But now, I want to be a person that everyone can trust, to be able to let people know that they can lean on me, even if I am falling, to be so strong that even when death is looking you in the face, I stare right back. I know that nobody will amount to the person you are and I hope that you know that too. But it never affected you: did you ever see the amazing person you are? Or did you deny it because you are so much better than pride. You are soo amazing, I just wanted to let you know. No goodbye is ever permanent, I'll see you again.
All my love,
Candie Sandefur

My heartfelt sorrow for the loss of a wonderful man and great father. He could make you laugh or give you a look that let you know you were in trouble (as i've seen a few times growing up with him as one of my "other" dads since 1st grade). No matter what the situation, he loved his family unconditionally. He will be greatly missed and always remembered. Lots of love to my extended family always, Angie

I worked with Mike in the Electroplating shop from 1976 until 1983,then moved out of state to accept another federal job. Mike was great to work with as he was very knowledgeable and always maintained his cool. One great guy. My condolence.
