Kenny and Family, I am so glad we got to know eachother alot better the past few years. I treasued every moment we spent together on the river and big lake. The last time we went river fishing last fall was one of the best days that I can remember, watching Uncle Mike and Kenny catch numerous king salmon and seeing the excitement on their faces was awesome. The big lake trip we took when Chris broke his wrist was one we will never forget. I had such a goodtime fishing and talking with you. Cant wait to see you Kenny. I know we will get some big fish when come back to MI. Thoughts and Prayers, Tony

I remember when I gave a demonstration speech in an English class at MHS. Mike was my "model" of how girls made themselves "beautiful". The demonstration included a wig, earrings, fingernail polish, eyeliner, eye shadow, and false eyelashes. Mike played the part superbly. The class was out of control with laughter. I laughed so much that I could hardly do my part of the demonstative speech. That was 41 years ago, and I still remember Mike's help. Mike was a phenominal person...a person I looked up to. I give you all my condolences.Dan Stevens

I am saddened to read about Mike's passing. Mike and I were in the same class at Montague. Mike was a happy go lucky guy, always smiling. Many memories of our school years. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife and children, his parents and his siblings. RIP Mike.

Mary,I was shocked to read about Mike's passing and my heart goes out to you and your family. Even after 10 years of retirement, I remember you and Mike so well. You were both such an integral part of TCVS. I know you are surrounded by many friends because I know how well liked you both are. May God grant you courage as you face life without your partner and peace as you find acceptance in God's need to call Mike home. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

I was an transplant ICU nurse for about 5 years and had the opportunity to work alongside Mike. He was always the most knowleadgeable and supportive person on the team. He was my "go to" person when my patients started to become unstable. He had such a calming presence about him. He was always very compassionate with the patients and their families. Mike was one of those people who you will always remember for who they were. I am honored to have worked alongside such a fantastic nurse. He was a terrific mentor. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May the memories you have be of comfort to you now and always.

Mary, I am so sorry to hear that Mike has passed. I have been away from Main Campus for some time now. He was always so full of energy. I am sure he will be missed by many. For the many he had a hand in helping during their troubles I am sure our Lord will remember him for all the good he has accomplished in his short life. God Grant Him a Peaceful Repose and Hold you and your family closely during your time of grief. Violet

MaryYou and Mike affected my life in ways you will never know or understand. I am sorry I lost touch with you and he over the years. I am glad I was able to stop by your house in Auburn many years ago and see you and Mike again. You were both in my life during the roughest of my teenage years. If it was not for being able walk across the street to talk with yourself and Mike during those times I am not sure I would be here today. From standing behind the doctor during cardiac surgery when he took me to the clinic to wearing boots with my suit to your wedding..I thank you both for being willing to impact my life. I was just a neighbor kid from across the street. I am so sorry for your loss. Keith Booth
