• On our way to garage sales on Saturday we passed by Cropo Funeral Chapel and saw all the people and bikes outside. We had read about Michael in the morning paper so we pulled into Extra Foods parking lot to watch the parade of bikes in his memory. Just before the service was to start and the last people were going in the doors, A sun beam came through the clouds and lit up the building and up above us a dove started cooing. Then it rained lightly till the service was over and the rain stopped when the people came out. Our condolences to Michael's family and friends - Posted by: Dolores and Nick Stewart (passer by) on: Aug 20, 2012

When my eyes catch streaks of blue My thoughts I know will turn to you That stubly face that crooked smile That perfect mix of chill and wild One who judged no less he be judged A man who simply was what he was A man who lived as he died With eyes and throttle open wide So as us left here question why And search for ways to say goodbye Rev the engine and hit the lights And ride my friend in to the night Don't forget the molson dry Goodbye good sir Goodbye - Posted by: Avery (Marion hotel acquaintance ) on: Aug 18, 2012

• My thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends. He will never be forgotten by us... Squirrel was one of a kind...I can remember in K.P park when my youngest was 6 years old we were all standing by our cars/bikes and my son says to Squirrel..." Mike its okay, I am different too", Mike looks at my son and says "why?"...My son replies because "I have two holes in my heart that you cannot see, and you have your hair"...lol...So every time we saw Squirrel after that they would talk with each other about how things were going, now my son is 13 years old and when I told him of 'Squirrels" passing he cried and said "MOM who is going to keep my hopes and dreams alive" I replied "squirrel will"... Mike, I have known you for many many years, and now that you're gone YOU will be missed by all of us that you have touched over the years...R.I.P my dear friend.... - Posted by: Tara Naumoff (Friend) on: Aug 14, 2012
