    So deeply sorry to hear of Mikes passing. He was a family friend from years ago. I remember visiting him at his sisters home in St. Joe. Prior to that I had not seen him since we were all in grade school since the 60’s. RIP Mike, hug your mom and dad for me when you get to heaven.

    I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. Mike was always a pleasant person to work with and even after he left Hallmark, he always had a smile on his face when we would meet. Prayers for you all. Keep his memory alive–go fishing in his name!

    To Mike’s family: So sorry for your loss. I first met Mike in Topeka through mutual friends in the late 70’s enjoying music together then worked with him at Hallmark in the 80’s. He was always friendly and had a smile on his face EVERY time I saw him even to this day. Even though I didn’t see him often I consider Mike a friend that has gone too soon.
