My deepest sympathies to your family. I never met Mick only on the phone and he was without a doubt a first class person. Willing to go the extra mile to help a Vernon sales person. May Mick rest in peace. God Bless. Dick Leklem

I have known Mick for almost 16 years. When I spoke with him on the phone I could always hear the smile on his face. He always called me kiddo and I will truly miss hearing his voice. My thoughts are prayers go out to Mick's family.

Mick was one of the most positive people I have ever known. He was always so willing to help me as a salesperson and he never even met me. We shared our common faith several times and it is wonderful to know I will see him in heaven. Please know that he was an inspiration to many more people than he realized and he will be remembered for a very long time.

Words can't begin to express the sadness I feel knowing Mick won't be blessing the halls of LCC, with a kind word, a hug or a smile. I hope it brings comfort that his beautiful voice is now singing with the heavenly choirs! What a glorious addition! He will be missed.

Dear Family
Mick was a great man of faith. Whenever I had to call him on business we always ended up talking on a personal level. We had things in common that we shared. We both love to sing so we talked about singing in our church choir and on the praise team. We also shared a mutual faith and beliefs and the love of family and friends. We often laughed about dancing with each others' wife at the Vernon meeting. That's the kind of effect Mick had on people. He always put a smile on your face.
Although I was saddened to hear of Mick's passing, I am also able to rejoice that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". Please take comfort in these words. Please know that my wife and I are lifting you in prayer.

Dear Fern and family,
While we have never met, I want you to know how deeply saddened I was to hear about Mick's passing.
As I have recruited new people to the Vernon Company, one of the things I was most proud to share was how very cool Mick was as the mangager of our Credit Department. He always proved me right!
Sometimes God takes the very best much to soon, and I will miss Mick's voice and pleasant demeanor.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

As a sales executive from Tampa, FL for Vernon, I had numerous occasions to talk and work with Mick over the last four years. I found him to be very generous and helpful all of the time and made all of my issues feel alot smaller after talking and working with him. It is my pleasure to have known him, even if only in a work-related atmosphere.

Dear Perry Family:
I deeply enjoyed the friendship I had with Mick.
Never met him personally but he always told me "my friend", those words and tone were really special to me.
Hoping that you find the peace and love he would like you to have.
My deep condolences

My sympathy goes out to Mik's family and yet we know that before Mik belonged to any of us He belonged to God and still does.
I have never had the pleasure to meet Mik in person but have had a great relationship in dealing with him as a Vernon rep. I look forward to the day when I can meet him in person.
according to Rev. 3:20, because Mik opened that door, we can trust he is having lunch with Jesus today.
God bless you.
