Roger I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am the Trudy that use to hang out with you guys "back in the day" when we scooped the loop and had cool cars. Doubt if you remember me, but wanted you to know I was thinking of you.

I also worked with Mike and was sad to hear the news. Mike always seemed to have a smile on his face and was quick to offer his help. What a wonderful man he was. We shall miss him greatly.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Michael's passing. My deepest sympathies to Teri and Michael's family. He was a good friend to Dewey and I am sure they will be having some good conversations about the good ole days. He was a joy to know and always had a good story to tell. My thoughts are with you Teri. Take care.

We were so sorry to hear of Michael's passing. I had the honor to work with him for 12 years at the State. Had a few years where we sat in cubicles right across or near from each other and it was so much fun. Have fond memories of him always having a joke to tell, playing volleyball, conversations, him just checking in to see how things were going and being so helpful. Will miss him pointing out the rainbows, Sundogs, and picturesque view of the Capital building when there is a blue sky with a few puffy clouds and to take a break to enjoy it. He was a true friend that was kindhearted and will be truly missed. Our sympathies to Teri and the family.

We're blessed with so many memories of special times with Mike years of Chuck playing basketball, volleyball and softball with him, our travels together to Africa and Bimini, my taking him shopping for new clothes and his really getting into it (Teri, I hope that wasn't a once-in-a-lifetime occurence), Thursday nights of singing at the Waveland (with Mikey giving favorite songs different words). There was no one else like him and he'll never be forgotten. Our condolences and our prayers to Teri and Mike's family members.

I am deeply saddened by Michael's passing. We were close friends for more than 35 years and I will miss his humor, his intellect and his presence. Thanks Mike for all the good times. And to Teri, I feel awful for you. I hope time brings you comfort.
