Shirley & family, Please accept my condolences. You may recall I was a classmate at Wintersville from 1940s to 1954 and was in Mike's homeroom. I remember that Mike was always very good in math and he became an example for me to do well in math in later life. I have thought of him many times over the years. I am retired from the US Army. I'm not surprised he became a leader as he was always looked up to by all of us in school. Semper Fi, Mike, Rest in Peace.

Dear Shirley and Family, So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dear Loved one. I know Shirley, the wonderful memories you shared with Mike will in time be so much of a blessing. It is so hard to travel that grief path of missing him but, I do pray you all will reflect on your memories, speak of him with each other it will help so much as you travel the path of missing him. It was always such a pleasure seeing you all out so many different times just speaking always brought a smile to my heart. Of course my thoughts went back to Steubenville Church when we were young Shirley, and to the mill with Mike. I will always treasure those memories. Take care and May God Bless you All, Thinking Love, Darlene
