I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I worked with him at the state. He was always a really nice guy. He will surely be missed not only by his family but by all that crossed his path.
I am saddened to hear of Michael's passing. We were in school together from 1st grade through the 12th. He was a solid friend during all those years. Rest in Peace. Jimmy
I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. We were classmates at Oak Hill High School. Prayers for his family during this time.
Mike’s mother, Jeanne, worked on the Admission Service at Broughton Hospital. I worked on the same unit. I knew his mother well. One Christmas I contracted with Mike to set up a breakfast for the Admission staff. He did a great job of feeding everyone. I wish for peace and comfort to his family. RIP Michael.
