I am so Sorry for your lost. Mike has worked for me for 1 1/2 years. He was one of my best workers! I have been here for 16 years and have not seen anyone with more work ethic then Mike. Every where I sent Mike he was liked. He was a great person and will be greatly missed!

He will always be remembered as you share the stories and the memories of how he lived his life and how very much he meant, may you find comfort…And, throughout this difficult time, may you also know the deep sympathy and concern that is felt for you and all your family. I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith.-2Timothy 4:7. As for me, I will lie down that I may sleep; I shall certainly awake, for Jehovah himself keeps supporting me. -Psalms 3:5

To His Family, I knew Mike at the ARC in Springfield. We had talked but just a couple of weeks ago when he called me. Didn’t realize it would be the last time to do so. My friend, Nancy, saw his obituary in the paper and called me with the info. My thoughts and prayers are with you. He will be missed. JJ
