I was very sorry to read about Mikes death. We have known Mike and the Young family over 50 years. Mike was always a happy person who loved animals. When I would visit NJ Shell he would always come over and greet me. 
REST IN PEACE MIKE!

I’m so sorry to the family. Mike was always around at my grandparents (Jennie Reynolds) house when I was growing up. I remember when I was a kid he used to walk his pet ferrets through town. He always talked about how he couldn’t wait to retire. And loved my oldest son because I named him Harley and he used to sign to Mike which he loved. Man he was such a good dude. This breaks my heart. We love you Mike! Thanks for always being there for my grandma💞

I remember him coming into the bus station, with the bird on his shoulder. Always had a friendly smile.

i remember Mike riding the columbia bus going to marietta. several times he had a bird on his shoulder. he loved his birds. sometimes he would shop for groceries and have a big 2-wheeled cart chock full of goodies.he didnt waste any time getting on or off the bus, and he always had his fare ready! a great rider,  smiling alot while not bothering anyone. i was a Harley fan just as Mike was, so much that i noticed we had the same kind of Harley Davidson boots on. I only smiled. You go Mike….!! Wait! was that a Road King that i just heard? taking off like a eagle? Mike look for me. my 3-wheel Harley is ready. blaze a trail for me to follow…….your RRTA driver bob.
