My heartfelt condolences to Mike's family and Tracy. At Noyes Mike always rose to the challenge and was growing in the job.
I sat with Mike and Tracy at Christmas parties and enjoyed social times with them.
He struggled for a long time and can inspire us all.
I will miss him.

As the Dean at St. Patrick, I came to know Mike as a personable young man and a talented student athlete. I had the opportunity to work with the younger kids on the field and Mike was a pleasure with which to work. As a junior, Mike pitched in the State Championship game and the thought of of his return as a senior was exciting. Unfortunately, senior year was a year of recovery; even so the team chose him as team captain. Truly a testimony to a talented and well liked young man. Mike was, in the finest sense of the word, a gentleman. He will be sorely missed! My deepest condolences to his entire family at this difficult time. Mike will always be a SHAMROCK!

Words can't express how sorry I am to hear about Michael. He use to date my Daughter, Adrianna Burgo. I worked with Michael's Uncle Tim on the CPD. May God help all of Michael's Family and friends get through this very sad time. I know God is taking care of Michael, and he is fine.

September 3, 2014

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Bolger family. Michael and the family will be in thoughts and prayers. He was one of my favorite players to coach at Saint Patrick. I recall that during his sophomore basketball season I elevated him to be one of our captains shortly after Christmas. He was a coaches dream because he would always just do whatever you asked him to do and he was a total team player. A real joy to know and to coach.

Sincerely,
Emmett McGovern

My condolences go out to his family and his very best friend Tracy. BOLG-er (as I called him), and I had a special friendship here at David A. Noyes as we were like a second family. His favorite girl was
Sheila, he smiled so big when she would walk in the room. She was his sunshine! We will all miss Michael dearly but memories kept close to our hearts.

Mike was such a great person to work with. He always took time to listen and understand what people needed and then went over and above what he needed to do to help them. David A. Noyes & Company truly misses him and we wish his family and friends our deepest condolences and share in their sorrow.

I only had the privilege of working with Mike for two months, but I found him to be one of the most helpful individuals in our industry. He would clearly go above and beyond the call of duty when you needed his assistance! He will be greatly missed, and our thoughts and prayers are with his immediate family, and his David A. Noyes family. Don Bates, Jr. Wesley Bates WMS, LLC, Richmond, Indiana
