Gerre,
We are so sorry for you loss of Mike. He was a most amazing brother in law who always took time to make us feel welcome when we were together. He is someone who I looked up to as being a Navy Commander and a true gentleman. It was always nice to talk with him about automobile problems as he seemed to always know what to do. He will be missed but never forgotten in our hearts.

Dear Gerre and Jenny
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. Mike was one of a kind and he will be missed at Lubrizol. He was a mentor to our young and old engineers always there to help anyone. His infectious smile and laugh will be missed. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. I myself will miss my dear friend as much as our group. He always gave me advise with car problems I had or helped me out with work issues. He was truly an amazing and unique individual. I am blessed that I was lucky to work with him my past 30 years. My continued prayers will be with you and May God grant him everlasting peace.
