Jayne, Andrew and Emily, I’m so sorry for the loss of Mike, he seemed to be a pretty funny guy, he made laugh a few times when Jayne would share a picture or text she had received. Hang on to all memories and smile when you think of him and remember he is no longer suffering or in any pain. I will pray that you all have the strength to carry on . My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jayne and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I had the honor of working with Mike at Bonfe as both his employer and his coworker. Mike played a significant role in the growth and development of our business and I will be forever grateful for his contributions. Mike was never shy about speaking his mind and you always knew where you stood with him. He always cared about doing the right thing and often would say the difficult things that others wouldn’t to stand up for his customers and coworkers. He was a good man. Thank you for sharing your husband and father with us for so many years. Mike will be missed by all.
