    Susan & family. We will miss Mike. We pray that God will bring comfort and peace, in this trying time. As long as we have loving memories of those we lost they're close to us for ever. May those memories bring you joy going forward.

    I am just a winter season golfer but I appreciated Mike's friendly manner and his love of golf. I offer my prayers to the family

    Linda,
    God Bless Michael. We so enjoyed our limited time with him in Florida. He was a very gracious man. And he generally beat me on the golf course. But who can't? Our prayers are with you, Susan and the rest of the family.
