Mike,I enjoyed the years I worked with you at RRDONNELLEY. You were a person who always treated everyone with kindness. May you be with the angels this day. And may our Lord bless your family and loved ones.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Mike’s family on their great loss. We enjoyed his company for many years at GIL at Lady Evelyn! He had a great laugh and sense of humor especially in the dining room……he probably has already landed that big Walleye and is smiling down on from heaven. Peace and blessings to the family and his special friends. He was a joy to know.

It was with a sad heart we learned of Mikes passing. We will long remember his smile and comic remarks. He often made our day.
