    Mike,

    I cannot count how many times you would beat me to work in the morning, and you had a “extra” cup of coffee. I could always depend on you to be, and do what you said you would. I am at a loss with the words to describe how much you are missed. I trust you are now free from the pain and suffering you carried for so many years. Godspeed Michael, say hi to Linda for me.

    Since I was 8 years older than Mike, we didn’t meet often except at family gatherings but being the son of Aunt Clara and having so many wonderful members of his immediate family, he will indeed be missed. Only his body has expired but his soul will live on in eternity. Travel well Michael.

    Uncle Mike was a cool dude who always had a smile on his face and a joke in his pocket. He used to love to share stories about his adventures and the passion with which he did so always made me all the wiser and more appreciative… of him and the relationships he was able to build with other people.
    That is how I will choose to remember him. Uncle Mike… one cool smiling dude who loved to share his life with others.
