Twins hat! How perfect!
Co-worker for 30+ years. He is sorely missed!
Great man!
A great boss and friend for 28 years! Miss you my Mikie!
What a great man worked with OB for almost 20 years a true friend coworker and a golfing partner.
Losing someone we love is nothing easy, but knowing that we have been able to be a part of the life of that person, we can realize that we are blessed to have been able to share in his life before he went to rest in eternal salvation.
Our condolences, Love and Prayers
Tom, Angie, Maria, Jason, Anthony, Brandon, Bella, Jennifer and Julie
Mikie was a great boss and friend. Worked with him for 28 years. Miss you my friend, my Mikie!
We are all so very sorry for this great loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers ❤️❤️❤️
Mary you have our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mike.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Mike was always fun when we all got together for special daye. You both were so right for each other. Please let us all know if there is anything we can all do. God be with you now and always.
Kathy, I just saw the obituary for Mike and I’m just sick that I missed everything! Even though I can’t drive, I would’ve found a way to get there… I always felt like Mike was part of our College crew because he and my brother, Ray, are the same age, so I always felt a kinship to Mike. He was such a cutie pie! I know he went straight up to heaven and he’s with your parents and all the other people he loved who passed before him. Please know I had every intention of being there, and please forgive me for my stupidity and lack of brain matter! Love to you and Ace and all your family, Hugs.
