May he rest in peace.  When I needed answers, he was always the one to provide them.

I am truly sorry to hear about this.  Mike was an inspiration to a lot of folks and will be sorely missed in the community.  Go with God Mike may you rest in peace.

God wrapped his arms around Mike and said, "come sit beside me and show me how this scroll sawing thing works, I hear you are the man for the job".  Mike will be missed.

He will be missed.  Mike was so very generous with his help and advise.  He was a wealth of wisdom and kindness.  So very sad.

Heavy heart is right...so hated to see this. 

I so admired Mike that he came from a different country and accomplished the American Dream with great products and service.  What a hole this will leave in our community. 

Deepest sympathies and prayers to his family.
