Sad to hear of Mike's passing...will always remember his smile and taking the time to chat with me. Lots of memories of our son's playing ball together and Mike coaching the team while Missy and I sat in the stands. Missy and Matt and family, you are in my thoughts during this difficult time.

To Mike’s family: I was fortunate to serve with him on several boards and charities throughout the past 30+ years. He never failed to take the time to ask how I was, to check on the kids, and share a good moment.
Conway has lost a true gentleman and Christian man.

Melissa and the Shock family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Mike was a true gentleman and will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. Mike and his Wampus Cats 1966 high school classmates allowed this old Devil Dog into their Tuesday lunch group with open arms. I always looked forward to our Tuesday luncheons together where we would solve all the worlds problems or at least we thought we did. Mike thank you for your friendship and kindness. Now go rest high on that mountain my dear friend!

Jeannie and I lost a friend of 55 and 70 years. Mercy, what all we did together. The luckiest man I ever knew, till it ran out.
Your parents raised me more than my own did. You had a huge impact on me and I miss you terribly.
Rest easy my brother.
