We in Bluffton were so sorry to hear this news. We remember Mike "Dawg" fondly during our FCC church softball days. He was a great guy and so much fun to be around. He had a great Pete Rose slide. Prayers to your family.

Bill and Mildred. I was shocked to see this. I sent it on to my son in FL. I have memories of you all at The Bowling Center. I have one standout memory of Mike. He helped Rick Vitatoe and me coach Jason's teen league baseball team. Rich had a pitching machine and cage set up in his backyard. One day Mike was going to test his skills. They set the machine up for a 90 MPH split finger fastball. First pitch...Right at him. He did have time to turn and take it on a rear cheek, but it left a nice mark. To his credit he got back in and did hit a few. I'm so sorry.

I am so sorry to learn of Mike's passing. I have fond memories of him when he and my brother Tom were such good friends. Both Mike and Tom are gone too soon. You have my deepest sympathy.

So sorry to read of your brother's passing. Please accept my sincere sympathy. It's hard to let go of our loved ones, but at least they are now free of any Earthly bondage. May you all be comforted by your memories of Michael.
Sincerely, Barb Miller
