Still in disbelief, I spoke with him the day before, and as usual, with the greeting, “Have a good day, Mike.”
Will miss seeing you in the am
RIP, my friend.

I’m sending condolences to Mike’s family and friends. He was a most helpful coworker; never letting me carry a heavy box or open the door for myself. Those manners and chivalry won’t be forgotten. He will be greatly missed throughout our district.

I will miss Mike’s friendly face at school. We often joked how he couldn’t stay away from this place. Love and light to family and friends.
