Mike was a kind and thoughtful man whose care and concern was for others around him. He was always willing to stop what he was doing to help others.

He loved his church and was a loyal parishioner and before his recent illness, was ready to volunteer his time and energy to help anywhere he was needed.

He was generous and kind hearted. Mike was a unique human being and he will be missed by all those who knew and loved him.
