Mike, I learned tonight of your passing.  We had more than a few beers together and you always kept the nights in Cub Hill interesting for sure.  I will never forget the good times. Even though we had grown apart raising our families, I thought about you, Ms. Harriet, Barbie, and your late father Mr. John and even Grandpa often.  Your life is merged as a part of mine.  May you rest in peace.

I'm going to miss you, Daddy. Everyone loved you so much. It won't be the same without you calling me every night while you were at work to check up on me. Rip Dad.

We were very saddened to hear of Mike's passing--he was a good neighbor and always had a kind word--he will be missed!

R.I.P. Mike you will be greatly missed you were a true friend. Sincerely the Brown Family..

May God bless Mike and his family during this difficult time. He was a great friend, union brother, and co-worker. May we all cherish knowing him.

Rest in peace my friend and fellow IUOE Local 37 member.  You will be missed!
Tommy Keith

Dear Elias Family
Our Deepest Sympathy
May Michael Rest In Peace

Rest in peace, Mike. It is hard to find the words to express how your life touched so many in such a possitive way, and it's even harder to express the feeling of loss felt by so many now that you are no longer with us.

Everyone liked Mike, in the 8 years that we worked together, I've never met anyone that didn't. He was always good for a laugh, at his own expense and at the expense of his friends and co-workers. His antics made many a long night shift not only bearable but fun. Everyone at work knew that he loved his daughter ( or as he called her, "my little angel pie") more than anything in the world!  He was hard working and generous, quick to buy you a shot and a beer if you stopped for one after work.

Mike, your passing will leave an empty hole in the lives of all that knew you, and I hope for all of your family and friends that the many fond memories and shared laughs will make it less so!

Harriett, I was very saddened by the news of Mike's passing.  My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time.

Dear Barbie, we know how much your brother meant to you and how hard you worked to make him comfortable and make him smile. Our love and prayers are with you.

Dear Tara my heart & prayers go to you & your Grandmother. Love Grandma Fran Elliott

Rest in peace Mike. We hope they have a '69 Z-28 ready for you up there. Our hearts and prayers to you Barbie. May the pain you feel now pass, and the cherished memories blossom for you. Our sincerest sympathies and prayers. Karl and Michelle (Palardy) Teel

Dear Barbie and family, we are all heartbroken at the loss of dear Mikey. He was such a hard worker and lived for his little girl and family, but still found time for his friends. He will be greatly missed. May God and your love for each other give you strength at this difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear about mike.I had been praying for him since I learned of his illness and will continue to pray that God gives his family the strength to get through this difficult time.

Dear Mrs. Harriett & Family,
We were shocked to hear of Mike's passing. We got to know Mike years ago when he was our neighbor. He was a great neighbor, he worked all the time.  We remember when he moved in and he was waiting for Tara to be born.  He adored his little girl.  All of you are in our thoughts and prayers at this very sad time.    
Love, Pam & Charlie Steele

I am so sad to hear about Mike. We grew up together in Cub Hill. My heart goes out to his family. I'll never forget my first memories of him on the bus stop in elementary school. He was always laughing and smiling and giving compliments! Barbie my heart is with you at this time.
