I had the pleasure of working with Mike at Gast and continued the joy of seeing him on the ball fields every time I was there. I was at the fields all the time and he was there even more. What a loss! He loved sports, life and most of all his family. There is no way the hurt his family feels will ever mend but the memory of Mike and his stories will forever warm our hearts. Rest well.

My heart is broken with the loss of a very dear friend and someone who I considered to be like family. We all have lost a true ray of sunshine in our lives. I will dearly miss his witty sense of humour and positivity. He had the gift of putting a smile on everyones face. Mikey "BooBoo" was one of the kindest most caring people I knew, and I am so incredibly grateful of the love and support he showed me throughout the years.

We all knew Mike as a good man, a good Husband, Father, Grandfather, and good Friend. But most of all just plain old good guy.
May God Bless Tina, Trisha, Bob and Jaidyn, and Jordyn with Strength and Love to help each other work thru this loss. I will miss Mike Not just as a brother-in-law but the friend and brother he was to Me.

Mike was a good friend for years. We worked together at Whirlpool and Gast and bowled together . He was always friendly to everyone and had a good sense of humor. He loved his Michigan teams as I did. I'm sure he will be missed by his family especially his wife Tina. I enjoyed working with Mike all the years we did and will remember a lot of good memories we had. May God bless those in his family that I know will miss him.

Mike was someone I knew growing up. We ran into each other as adults and had great laughs ! He was the kind of person who had great morals, loved his family and was a dear friend to so many. He will be missed!! My prayers go to those closest to him, his family, his softball team, and many others whose lives he touched. Rest In Peace, dear friend! God has welcomed a true ‘angel’ into the Kingdom.

To all of Mikes family, I knew Mike through Gast. My job required me to work with Mike to coordinate shipments and build orders. Mike was ALWAYS so easy to work with, always had a great sense of humor and always bent over backwards to make my job easier. I know how much he was liked by everyone and this is a great loss. My prayers are with you all. God bless you and God bless Mike. My heart breaks for you all. Shirley Churchill
