Deepest sympathy for your loss. Mike was a great guy who I will always remember as a kind gentleman. He was my son’s Cameron 2nd year coach in tball. This was after taking the older boys to a state title. What dedication to the youth of the area. He will surely be missed by all, especially the youth at the park. You should all be proud of his dedication, it is rare these days. Sincerely, Pete McMackin

Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Mike helped many kids in his community and the surrounding areas play the game of baseball and we had the honor and privilege of working with him. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Mike was a true gentleman. He gave so much of his time to the Little League Program of St. Marys. I have many great memories of holidays and camp with his family. Rest in Peace cousin Mike!
