I was fortunate to have known Mike, as a member at Whitnall Park Mens Golf Club. Great guy. Mike will be missed. Condolences to his family at this very difficult time!
I am proud to have known Mike at the VA. He was a friendly and out going person and was well liked by the staff and volunteers he managed. . My condolences to Linda and all of your family. I will keep you all in my prayers.
So sorry to hear of your loss at this most trying time. I was a little surprised to hear about 8 grandkids now ( I remember .3). That kept you all busy so you have those times to cherish for years to come. Stay connected with one another as best you can to get through this. Each day will hopefully get better.
I was sorry to learn that Mike passed away. I knew him from working at the V.A. I also had golfed with him at V.A. outings. He was a great person and an excellent employee as Chief of the Voluntary Service. My condolences to the family. I know he will be greatly missed.
I am sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. While working at the VAI I had contact with Mike quite often. I always looked forward to working with Mike as he was very easy-going and well liked by everyone. My condolences to LindaIn all of the family
I will miss Mike so much. He was a golf buddy for 40 years and more than that a special friend. Mike loved to laugh about old movie comedy lines. He loved his family and grandkids so much. We worked together at the VA for several years. Maybe in heaven he can shoot that even par round of golf.
My thoughts and prayers are with you especially, Linda and your entire family.
