To All of you Just wanted to let each of you know my thought and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I know how hard this time is for you because 3 yrs ago his sister ( My dearest MOM ) went to be with the lord. Now I know that all of them are together and celebrating in his great glory. May you find peace and comfort in the days to come. I will continue to pray for you all that GOD gives you the strength to get through this time in your lives. On behalf of myself and my family as well as Uncle Jim and my grandmother we love you and want you to know that we are thinking of you all.Love Carol, Gene, Shane, Amber, Adam & Courtney, Jim & Agnes ( my grandmother )

I did not know Michael personally, but through knowing Mark, I feel I have been able to glimpse what a great man he must have been. He has obviously passed on strength of character, love of the outdoors and a positive outlook with a sense of Humor. I know because these are the traits I see in Mark and I know that Mark has taken joy and pride in passing these traits on to his children. Because Micheal shared such important values, he will be remembered in daily life by his friends, family and even those that did not know him.I know that Michael had a very difficult year with his health and the family has persevered by his side. But peace has come to him, and soon peace will come to his family in knowing that the best of him is honored EVERY DAY in his children and their children and for many more generations.I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you find the comfort you need during this time.

Brother Mick,Jackie & I want to extend our deepest and sincre condolene's to you and your brother and sister's. Mick, your Dad was a good friend and great mentor to us as we came up through the trades. Don't dewell on the sadness of your Dad's passing brother, but cherish all the fond memories of Mike we had while he was with us on earth!! Remember when he would work our butt's off and make us so mad we wanted to ring his neck? Than he'd laugh at us and say hurry up and walk away. Little did we know at the time that he was setting the foundation that made us what we are today. If we would have had a gun we would have shot him! But we can sure thank him today!!! As hard as it was at the time, now you realize how blessed you were to be able to work with him all those year's. I can still remember the time at Alberto-Culver in Chicago when we had to stand that last 12,000lb. tank up in the tank farm and there was only room for one crane. You and I are scratching our head's trying to figure out how we're going to stand this one up? Finally he said while you two yahoo's try to figure this out I'm going to pull the Brodersopn in and when I get on the outrigger's,Mick you pull the drott in right behind it. Than he walked away!! We just shrugged our shoulder's pulled the Drott in. A few minutes later he comes walking in with a snatch block and hook's it up to the front of the Broderson and say's what the the hell are you guy's waiting for? Run all the stick out and boom it down. Than he took the cable off the Jib(we looked at each other and shook our head's)ran it through the snatch block on the front of the Broderson and back through the jib and hooked it to the chocker's on the tank and looked at us and said, now, do I have to get in the Drott and pull the lever's or can you handle that? We looked at each other and laughed and I said I'll be go to hell!! I don't think I'll ever forget that as long as I live. Mick, your Dad will be sadly missed, but fondly remembered. He never beat his own drum's, he was the consumate professinal. I consider it an honor and a privalge to have known, learned from and worked with your Dad. Your Friend, Tommy O
