Not a week goes by that I don't remember how Michael would make me laugh. I miss our lunches and spending time with him just talking about our children, wives and life.

I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I met Mike after he and my husband went on a humanitarian trip to Iraq with a big group who have still remained close. He was a very special man. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I am just now learning of Michael's passing, so very saddened, he was a great man. My heartfelt condolences to his family. I met Mike 10 years ago today when a large group of us went to the Gulf to support the children and troops. May he Rest In Peace and May comfort be sustained through a life well lived and the many he touched. Love and prayers, Mary Eisenhower.

I just found out about Michael today from Brandon. It is a great loss as he always brought me happiness and a laugh. He was so kind to Kelly and I and we enjoyed the many dinners we shared with Julie and him. I feel horribly that we hadn't talked since last summer and wish I would have found out when it happened. He was a great man and I hope his boys know how much he was loved and will be missed by many.

What a tremendous loss for all who knew Michael. To his children-your dad was a gem. His smile and sense of humor was infectious. Although he and I did not speak often, he had a wonderful way of spreading good cheer. May you rest in heaven my friend.

Mikes love and generosity knew no bounds. Amongst the gifts he sent to my son Eddie here in Scotland, many years ago was a copy of the book The Polar Express... complete with a small bell. The inscription inside reads to my good friend Eddie, may you always hear the bell, Love Michael... that bell hangs in our sitting room all year round and not just at Christmas. Mike Fisher brought a touch of magic to so many lives, It was an honour and a privilege to call him friend. He will never be forgotten, especially when we hear that bell. Sending all the love in the world to his family at this saddest of times and hoping you all find strength in the memories of a very special guy... RIP Mike, much love Lynne and Eddie Sorensen (Scotland) xx
