I am shocked and so saddened to hear of Mike’s passing, Mary Lynn, I am close by, so please call for anything you might need. I’m praying for comfort for you at this sad time, and praying for Mike, that he is resting peacefully.

October 21, 2021 at 7:21 amMaryLynn, I was truly saddened to hear about Mike’s passing. Keith worked with Mike for years and our Saturday breakfast get togethers were always fun. Keith always considered Mike a great friend even after we moved out of state. They always stayed in contact and their lengthy phone conversations inevitably had both of them laughing.
Even though we are not local now please know you can call any time and are always welcome in our home. Many hugs to you. Mike was one of the good guys.

Mike was always “The Leader of the Pack” when it came to car shows and other automotive related activities. Walt and I looked up to him. We had so many great times together. I bet Mike is showing Walt around in the hereafter.
Be good to yourself and know that Mike is looking out for you.

October 24, 2021 at 1:30 pmMary Lynn, I was truly saddened to hear about Mike’s passing when you called me. Please accept my deepest sympathy and I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to attend his service. I always enjoyed seeing you and Mike at Bob Evans and at various car shows. I will miss receiving his emails too. I will always think of Mike every time I see a 55 Chevy wagon! Hugs…..

October 25, 2021 at 6:14 amSo shocked to see that Mike has passed away. Living in Europe makes it very hard to keep current with things. The last I had known was Mike was in hospital with Covid. I hadn’t thought about it for a while and then realised I hadn’t seen anything from him. I was saddened when I saw on his Facebook page that he had passed away. I shall miss one of my oldest and best friends. So sorry for your loss Mary Lynn.

October 25, 2021 at 6:41 pmThis really saddens me. I had not seen Mike at any event all summer and wondered. We would always exchange hellos and talk cars and he sent me many funny and interesting emails over the years. I will miss you good man and I know you are cruising smoothly now.
