I met Mike and had an opportunity to talk with him on a few occasions in the GM building on Sprinkle Road in Kalamazoo when Bob and I worked for EDS during the mid- to late 1990s. Mike was a very nice and down-to-earth kind of guy. Bob and family, please accept my sincere condolences, and may you be comforted by fond memories. David Veenhuis Kalamazoo, Michigan

We always looked forward to seeing him at G-A reunions so we could share all of the good times we had in high school. and catch up on what was going on in the present.

Thank you, I also loved going to the reunions and hearing some of the old stories and every now and then you surprised me with a new one. My favorite time was when you made arrangements for us to go to Coach Maskill home and oh how he could remember all of you. Thank you again for your kind words Mary
