I would like to send my condolences to Mike's family and friends. I worked with Mike in the 90's at Government Services, and was always cheered by his good humor, and his amazing hard-work ethic. He will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Angela Savoie (Co-Worker) on: Aug 04, 2009

We are very saddened to hear of Mike's passing. He was a dear friend and will be deeply missed. Mike and I (Dave) met in high school and started a friendship that has lasted many years and has seen many changes. Maria, Aemilla and Matthew, I know Mike's passing came as a great shock to you and we can't begin to express how sorry we are. Take comfort in the fact that he cherished his family and wanted the best for you. He will be missed by all those who knew him and will live on in their hearts and minds. - Posted by: Dave & Marilyn Chale (Friend) on: Aug 03, 2009

Maria, Aemelia & Matt, We were saddened to hear of Mike's sudden passing. The boys have special memories of their times spent at your cabin and home. You and Mike opened your arms and doors and made them feel like part of your family. Mike was a special person, kind hearted and always laughing. He had a real joie de vivre. You could be having a bad day but if you met Mike things suddenly got better. He has left a void in each and every life he has touched and he will most certainly be missed. Hugs and love, The Ledieu's - Posted by: Pat & Rick Ledieu (Friend) on: Aug 01, 2009
