    Best former neighbor and best friend I could ever had. He loved to make home made bread and rolls and insisted I had to take half. Thanks Mike for those extra pounds. Loved and will miss you.

    Mike !!!! What exactly are you doing? Does not seem normal to start the day or arrive home without this friendly banter. It is like at any moment you are going to open the door and have some daily "unofficial" greeting....and we just start laughing about basically anything and everything. A wonderful neighbor whom became a great friend. Thank you for the laughs and enjoyable memories. Your personality lives on in so many thoughts. With Respects, Shane

    Well Mike ‘Fair Enough’ words I will remember always. Words that you used when we had a conversation where maybe I got the better end of our discussion. Now I say Fair Enough, Mike. This would have been you, all the way. To Mark, Rebecca, Julia, and family , I know for sure that Mike loved each and everyone of you.. Perhaps if one day our paths meet I may share stories of Mike of our days through work, or time on a golf course, or lunches. Many memories are of those days gone by, but will never forget Sterls.
