To The Michalak family . I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Steve. I was out of town and received several calls and text to tell me of Steve's passing. I worked with Steve for a number of years. At one time he was my boss and one of the best. He always would call me Missss Willllllsonnn and I got married he changed to Robinson but called me the same way, I know he will be missed. I will keep you all in my prayers .

Pat, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know I never met your husband but I just wanted you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Pat, you are such a great person and friend and a really wonderful listener. You were always there to support me at work with everything I have going on in my life and I just wanted to support you in any small way that I can. Just know that you have many many friends who care very much about you. I hope in some small way that is some comfort to you. With love and prayers, Barb Jenuwine

I am sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Steve (your husband, father, son, uncle, brother) was a terrific person and we will dearly miss his presence. He never said, "no" to his co-workers. If Steve could help, he was there for you and he never complained. He was our statement go to person and never failed to resolve our issues when called upon. I will never forget such a wonderful person and co-worker. Great memories of Steve will forever be cherished in my heart because of his kind and willing heart to always be there others.

So sad to read in the newspaper that Steve had passed away. They must have needed more "good guys" in heaven, to take him at such a young age. He was a pleasure to work with, always pleasant, always helpful and cooperative. Those still at the bank will sorely miss him. My sincere condolences to his family. Buffy Paquin

Hi Pat, I am so sorry I could not attend the funeral, I have been battling bronchitis. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Patty Fanson

Pat and Kevin, I am so sorry and saddened to hear about your loss. My prayers are with your family at this difficult time. Tom Dembinski

Stevie, I remember the time Mom and Dad were on vacation and somehow the "little party" I had at the house got a little out of control. I ran to get you at your friend's house and you came right away and straightened things out. I could always count on you and I'll never let go of you as my brother, In my heart always, Paula

Dearest Patty, You are in our thoughts and prayers. I am heart sick over this enormous loss. You and Steve have created a legacy with your love that will live on through your children and your grandchildren. We are so deeply sorry for your loss. Gary and Cathy Thomas

Pat and family, You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Be there for each other! Take care, Cindy Fultz and family

I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I've had the privilege to work with Steve in Trust Operations for the past 15 years. I have always respected and admired his steadfast dedication and wealth of experience. More importantly, I could tell Steve loved his family and cared about others. Steve made a positive impact on my life, and he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers will be with his family during this difficult time.

Kerry- My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I am so sorry for your loss. -JEM

We are so sorry. We have such great memories of all our times together with our families. Remember when Steve and Bob took flashlights out into the field looking for Kerry's blanket? We had such good times. I hope Steve's everlasting light will shine down on you and give you comfort. Love you.

I remember growing up on Meuse with the Michalak's. It seems like yesterday. Steve was a wonderful person always smiling. The first time Steve and I were in a meeting together at Comerica, we were introduced and I said I know Steve we played Kick The Can together. My deepest sympathy's go out to the whole family.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Kevin, all of your co workers are thinking of you.

Steve was an employee of Comerica for over 42 years. In this day and age, it is rare to have an employee dedicate his entire career to one organization. Steve was that kind of rare individual. He was responsible for a number of key initiates over his long career, but what I will remember most about Steve is his keen wit and sense of humor. Steve was a dedicated teammate that will be sorely missed and never forgotten. He lit up at work when he talked of his family. His face would beam with a smile when he talked about his grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and colleagues in this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss. Enjoyed working with Steve at Comerica as a "go to for knowledgeable answers" client with a unique witty humor spin on our telephone conversations.

Traci and I are heartbroken and wish we could be there with the family. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers and we love you all very much! Uncle Steve will be missed beyond words!

Patty and Family I loved Steve. We had so much fun sharing stories and laughter in the golden olden days. I was best man at Steve and Patty's wedding and I know how much he loved and cherished both Patty and the entire family. Whenever we would see each other it was like it was yesterday. He was a great guy and will be missed by many. May God bless and comfort Patty and the family at this time of sorrow. I will always remember my buddy with a smile as he would want and keep the memories close to my heart.

My condolences to the Michalak Family - Wally, Steve and Patty were part of my youth at St. Brendan's School and thru the parties, dances and ball games we all shared. I ran into Steve when I worked downtown but not much in the last 20 yrs. I will always remember him belting out the Moody Blues with his band. He was a great singer. God Bless his soul and may he rest in peace. He was a good and funny friend all of our youthful years.

I was very saddened of Steve's passing. We were classmates at St. Brendan's and Austin. Time has a way of separating us but the memories are still there. I have very fond memories of Steve throughout the years. My condolences to all of Steve's family and friends.

All our love and sympathy. We are there in spirit and our prayers are with you. We will miss Steve dearly.

Kerry- I am so sorry for your loss. Many thoughts and prayers for you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My thoughts and prayers are with Steve's family at this difficult time. Growing up with Steve was always an experience; St. Brendan's, Austin our paper routes always kept us close. Trigonometry class with Steve was an experience I'll never forget. Again my prayers are with his family.

Pat, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Theresa McGuire

Pat,my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Please know we are thinking of you, miss you here, and love you to pieces.

Pat, we love you and are praying for you and your family. may God comfort you in this your hour of need.

It was always a pleasure to work with Steve. He helped make my transition on to the team a pleasurable one. When his name would pop up on my phone, I knew I was in for a laugh. My prayers and thoughts are with the family. Rest in peace Steve-o.

To the family, I will keep the entire family in my prayers during this difficult time. Steve was a great boss , and always willing to help or share his knowledge.

My prayers go out to the Michalak family. Steve was once my manager in the trade-processing unit at Comerica Bank. I enjoyed working with him.

Dear Pat,Ryan,Kerry,and Kevin: The entire Warren Woods family is sadden with the loss of your husband and father. All of you were such a vital part of WWTHS and made it such a wonderful place to work. I am sorry for your loss. I am certain that God will give you comfort and healing in the days to come. Sincerely

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I worked with Steve over the past 32 years. He was always my go to guy whenever I had a question or needed help. He always made time and was more than willing to help. I will miss him more than words can express.

To the entire Michalak family- Although I haven't seen Steve in a very long time, I have great memories of him while we were growing up on the east side of Detroit. As I'm writing this, I'm looking at a picture in my office of the old neighbor gang including Steve, right in the center as always. I believe JJ snapped it at one of the weddings. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Paula, Michael, Wally, Pat and all, I still cannot believe that such a wonderful and loving cousin is gone. Thinking back on all the younger years and how in a blink of an eye life is gone. My prayers are will all of your family and may God truly hold all of you in the palm of His hand and give you comfort. Stevie you will be greatly missed. With deepest sympathy, Annette

Dear Patty and family, We know Steve is now at peace and in a better place. He was a huge chunk of memory in the lives of our neighborhood with all its many memories surrounding all our children. Those were the "Glory Years". May God watch over your family and give you faith and strength to move forward in the coming days. Love & Prayers

Know that your Husband, Father, Brother, Grandfather, Brother In Law was and will always be loved and remembered by so many people. I will always remember his sense of humor, his love for football I'm sure he will be cheering the Lions on in Heaven. Steve I will truly miss you and don't know how I will handle being at work without you.

Stevie, there are never any words to describe the feelings and the memories. And it is with deep sorrow that we accept this facet of life. To our brother whom we will always remember and cherish, with love.

Dearest Walter,Paula,Patty,Wally,Michael and all of the Michalak's families, our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow.

This is not the way it is suppose to happen. The first in line is suppose to be the first in. What is good about life is that we can be together as it happens even when the storm hits. We are proud to be with you all at this moment.

Pat, Ryan, Kerry and Kevin, We are so very sorry for your loss, Steve was the best neighbor and friend anyone could ask for. We are going to miss sitting out in the back yard having a few drinks together and laughing...time will make it a little easier but the hurt never goes away. We loved Steve like family and are going to miss him so much. We are here for all of you any time, love you all.
