    Jason and Nancy, we are so sorry for your loss in Mike’s passing. We always enjoyed when Jason would share stories about Mike with us and it’s always been clear what a great guy he was and how important he was in your lives. We wish you peace, comfort and strength and we’ll be thinking of you both and your family. Eric, Angi, Stella and Lucy

    Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of a wonderful human being. Mike has a way of lifting your spirit. He was so good to my brother, Kevin Smith, when Kevin was sick. Mike’s calls and visits always cheered him up. I last saw Mike while leaving the grocery store last summer. We gave each other a big hug and ended our short visit with “stop by sometime”. I’ll always cherish the memories of Mike.
