In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a Mental Health organization in your local community or a Veterans group, if desired.
Mike will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
We were next door neighbors of Mike’s for many years. Mike was the kind of neighbor everyone hopes to have. He was always there with a willingness to help…. never hesitating when we needed a hand. Whether it was dealing with a flooded basement, rescuing us when a pigeon found its way down the chimney and into our house or simply asking if there was anything we need, Mike was always there.
Mike will be deeply missed, fondly remembered and always appreciated.
Our hearts go out to his family, especially Ella and Justin.
With deepest sympathy,
