Chris Michal family,
Chris will be missed. Chris was a true gentleman and a pleasure to be around. He was always upbeat even in the worst of situations. His positive personality touched many people. He was a good policeman and showed nothing but class! My condolences.

Dear Vickie, Laura, Sarah, & Michal Family, I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Chris. He was simply a plain old good guy and the world will be a little less kind without him in it. My love to all of you.

Dear Michal Family,
Strange how thirty years ago the four of you were in my life everyday, almost literally. When I was just eight in fact, Coach Chris got so tired of both of us turning our heads when "our" name was called , he gave me the name CJ! I still get that from alot of people today. Anyway, thanks for being such great people and always so good to my family!
Love CJ

Dear Michal Family,
I'm deeply saddened to hear of Chris'
passing. We "grew up" together as young patrolemen in 018, and shared our love of golf as a common bond, including several trips together with the "boys".

He was an outstanding officer, good friend, and fun to be with. Please know that when you look into the sky tonight, it will be a little brighter, as new star has been added to the heavens above.

My husband, Clem Dore, was so fond of Chris and will cherish the memories. We haven't stayed in contact but that doesn't diminish the fact that we will miss him. Chris was the one that gave my daughter, DeAnne her nickname Dee Dee. He said those were her initials and that is what her name was! Never argued with him; just kept the name. Our prayers are with all of you.
