We are so sorry to hear of Mike's passing, Martha. What memories I have of him (and you)at Friendship. God blessed him with talent in so many areas of his life; but I will always remember playing the piano/organ with him and June McGuire. It was a joy listening to him. Praying God will bless you and your family. Always,

Martha, I was sad to hear of Michael passing. We had alot of good times together at Friendship and just being friends hanging out with Kirby and Tommy Boyett doing potluck and watching movies. I could sit and listen to him play the piano and organ for hours. He truly was a talented person and will be missed. Our prayers are with you and your family. Rusty Cuniff

We were so sorry to hear of Michael's passing. He was always so fun to be around. I worked with him years ago at Texaco Chemical, later he would help my Mother with decorating her home. He also helped us with picking out furniture at Howell's. He was gifted in so many ways, and will be truly missed by those that had the opportunity to know him. May God bless his family and give you all peace and comfort.
