Lisa, Ben and Sweet Ellie – we are so sorry for the loss of Mike. He was a great person. He was always such a loving Dad and husband. He was a man of many words (not), but it was so obvious he was so devoted to his family and friends. We may not of seen you guys much after the boys were done with hockey but when we did, it was like we were never apart from you. I was always in awe with Mike – watching him as a husband and father.
Mike and Ellie – we always knew how important you kids were to your Dad, it was so obvious.
Lisa – like I said above, I was in awe with how Mike was such a great husband and friend. This world lost someone very special, it will be forever changed.
Please know that we are praying and thinking of your family through this most difficult time.

Lisa & Family, So very sorry for your loss, what a kind loving family, always a pleasure to be in your company, I’m certain you have a big void in your lives as Michael was a great man, and worry not as he is in Heaven where he will share in the promise of the Lord.

Dear Lisa,
We are so sorry for your loss. We are praying for peace and comfort for you and your family. May you feel the Lord’s presence surrounding you. Love, Tom and Donna McDonald
I was deeply saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. I’ve worked with Mike over the years on and off at Raytheon and always made a point to stop by and chat with him when I was in the area. Mike was always soo helpful for the many questions I always had and was a wealth of knowledge. If he didn’t know the answer he always knew someone who would and was always eager to help me. He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and extended family. May Mike Rest in Peace.

Dearest Lisa, Ben & Ellie,
Words CANNOT express my feelings and the deep sympathy being sent to you and your entire family with Mike’s passing. Lisa, I remember the many years of knowing you both, fondly, and sharing a burger with you and Mike in Beverly not that long ago.
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers from afar, as I am presently in Florida.
Love, peace, and a huge hug.

Mike was a special person. Dedicated to his family and friends, honest, ethical, trustworthy. The list goes on. Mile was the kind of guy you could enjoy hanging out with even if nothing was being said. Tremendous loss. Our condolences to Lisa, Ben, Ellie and the entire family. Kurt and Petra
