Just offering condolences from a Vietnam Navy Veteran his age and although I did not know Michael I feel we were all part of a special brotherhood of that war and shared a common bond never to be forgotten. God Bless Mike on his final TOUR. AMEN

I first met Mike in the late 70s while we both worked at Colony Dodge as salesmen. We worked together on several sales and bonded. I left and started my Pest control business. Mike and I stayed in touch when he went to Parkway ford and we bought our trucks there. I will miss Mike. He was one of the good guys. I will always remember him.

As I was cleaning my garage a few years ago, I heard someone call to me from the end of my driveway asking if I was moving. It was Mike and he wanted to know if needed any help. When I told him I was just cleaning, he very kindly offered to help with that or anything else I might need in the future and reminded me that he lived very close by. He was always ready to lend a helping hand whenever needed. That's just the kind of man Mike was. And I never saw him that he didn't make me laugh. He was a very good friend to us all and we will all miss him. God Bless him and his family.

The Marine has completed his final mission and has returned to his True Home to be reunited with loved ones who have gone before. Mike always said that he knew when he opened his eyes in Heaven, the first sight he saw would be his beloved daughter, Elizabeth. I have no doubt it happened just that way. Mike was a great man. He was deeply loved and he will be very deeply missed until we see him again. Semper Fi, Marine.
