Just returned late this afternoon from vacation and received the sad news of Mike's passing. Had I know sooner I would have attended his service. I have had many talks with Mike in my 5 years at TSA and have listen to a lot of his stories. My condolences to his family and all his hunting partners. Beth

I always enjoyed working with Michael and was saddened by the news about his sudden passing and will be missed. He spoke often about how he loved being with his family, especially his grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy. Janice Guetchidjian, TSO

Greg has been our neighbor since we first moved here, over 20 yrs ago. We've spent many pleasant afternoons and evenings chatting with him over the fence and are deeply saddened by not having those talks again. He entertained us over the years with his various projects in the back yard from dressing out deer from a recent hunting trip to producing a bumper crop of veggies with his 'low care' management technique. Greg always had a smile whenever we saw him in the yard and though he went through some tough times, they didn't seem to get him down. We will miss him a great deal and will be included in our prayers in the future. God bless and keep you all. John and Laurie Howe
