Michael's Memory Wall

We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Michael here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.

Mrs. Seroke, Tayler, Peggy, Jackie and Paula....I am so sorry for your loss.
Mike and I were such good friends in the last several years. We shared car pictures, weed whackers, and all those weird things that friends do. Dogs, and dog stories etc. I will miss him something awful. He was over a couple of weeks ago and helped me put my weed whacker together. We had a devil of a time getting that wheel on the right way. But, he finally made it. Thought we were gonna have to call Bob Ulmer since he had just gotten one like it....but he made it. Thanks Mike. I'll think about you when I'm using it. If there is anything I can help you all with, please don't be bashful....I love that man. He was so happy to see my yellow motor cycle that I just got and said he wished he could ride too. But didn't think his knee would allow it.

We traveled to the last reunion (50 years!) and are so glad we did and had a chance to "catch up" about the last 15 years with Mike. It's always sad to lose a friend...no matter how close we were, no matter how far away we have been.
Please accept our sincere condolences to the Mikes family. We will remember him as the good, sincere person that he was. He will not be forgotten. In our hearts and minds forever, we regret his loss. Sincerely, Dwight and Betty Brenneman

To Mike's family. Mike and I were friends in high school and cruised in cars in the early days. Then as we both become older we started running together and we completed our first marathon hand in hand. I got such strength from Mike's support and encouragement during our training and the race. In our later years, we shared lunches and stories at our ROMEO group at the Grove on Friday afternoons. It was so great to reconnect. Both of us still talking about running even though our knees were creaky and both of us faced getting one replaced. He was determined to run one 5K every year. What a great friend! Such a loss personally and the community shares in that loss. I will miss him. He is at peace.

To Michael's Family, I met Michael in 5th grade at my first "boy/girl" party and was quite impressed with those blue eyes! In my Junior year I had a chance to see those eyes close up when he gave me a ride in his red '56 Chevy Convertible. I was hooked! We spent a lot of time together for the next couple of years. Most of my high school memories were made with Michael! As in life, we drifted apart but reconnected in the late 80's. Michael went with me to my 50 year class reunion this summer. So blessed we had that time together. I am so proud to say he one of my closest and dearest friends. What a wonderful man. I will cherish him and our memories forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am glad I got to spend time with Mike when in SH at the Festival of Cars and we shared our passion of classic cars together a good part of the day.  I will miss Mike, we worked together many years ago at Bohn Aluminum and he was always encouraging, made me feel important, and was a true friend.  I always looked forward to running into Mike at the beach or other SH activities and loved his positive outlook on life and the fact he was genuine.
I'll miss you Mike- rest well my friend.   SH will miss Mike also.
My deepest sympathy to his children and family.  I am proud to have known Mike and to have been his friend.  Chuck Miller and family.

Tayler,

Your Dad was a good friend of mine and was a class act. He had a heart of gold and was a very caring individual. He was a very good friend, especially when in need. I enjoyed riding around with him in his GTO, not to many people can say that. We tried to stay in touch as much as we could and most assuredly, enjoyed talking about the days that were. We worked together at Bohn Aluminum. Mike, Bobby Sherman and myself ran around together for awhile and had many good times. Rest in peace my friend for you will not be forgotten.
