Mike & I met at Tracor Shipyard in 76 and worked years together as repair estimators until he opened his stamp business.  We were quite close and lunched daily.  Barbara, Mike, my wife Marge & I partied at our homes until the shipyard closed & we moved to Jacksonville in 87.  We stayed in touch through the years as they would look us up when passing through.  Mike has always counted as one of my 5 dearest friends that I loved like a brother.  In the past 6 months I've tried repeatedly to get in touch and felt sure something had happened.  May the Good Lord Bless Him & His & Keep Him & Make His Face Shine Upon Him & Give Him Peace.  Don 


I'm sorry for your loss. Mike was one of my brother, Roger Magyar, dearest friends in Cleveland, OH.

When my brother passed away, 5 years ago, I received a phone call from Mike. We shared memories and he told me about his family and that he was living in Jacksonville.

Mike had a kind and generous heart. He always made me laugh. May he rest in peace.


When I think of Mike I remember his smile and his laughter. We (my husband Roger {deceased} and I asked him to be our best man when we married in 1965. 

He and Barb were married about the same time and we had our children about the same time. We used to go to Shaker Lakes with our strollers in hand.  Good times.

We were able to visit after many years of not seeing each other when they lived in Greenville. He and Roger did a lot of reminiscing and laughing about Buckeye  and their lives there.

He certainly taught us a lot about our faith in times of adversity.

May the angels bring him to his paradise.
