I was very sorry to hear of your loss. It seems like just yesterday he was calling all of us neighborhood kids "squirrels!" My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Janet & Brian, please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of Mike. I always enjoyed the friendly back&forth banter that Mike & I exchanged over the nearly thirty years in our business relationships. From the days when he worked as a pressman at Colonial Ptg. in 1980 to my latest dealings with him at Color Impressions. (I did not see him at H&E). I also will miss seeing him at the 7th ward club.
Very Sincerely, Dale & Deb Schober
My deepest sympathy for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
