My sincere condolences to Mike's family. I knew Mike as a friend and neighbor. He was quite a guy, I enjoyed talking to him & was fortunate to see him just a couple of months ago. He remained the same no matter the challenge.

Mike was one of a kind. Professionally and personally, he was passionate, compassionate, dedicated, loyal, honest and sensitive. He was also tough, strong-willed and someone to be reckoned with. He was someone you'd want on your side in good times and bad.
His laughter was infectious; his eyes twinkled bright blue (with his glasses precariously perched on his forehead!); his animated gestures telling the tale. This is how I'll remember you Mike. See you on the other side.
With deepest sympathy to Mike's family,

I also knew Mike from the City of Chicago's Civil Service Commission and worked for him in the Chicago Fire Department from 1982 until his retirement. He was a great boss who spoke his mind freely and cared a great deal for his colleagues. I know he was very devoted to his family. May he rest from his labors and enjoy his eternal reward.

Mike was a great guy. He either liked you or not - told you exactly what was on his mind. Knew him in the Civil Service Commission (Department of Personnel) and the Chicago Fire Department. He will be missed.

Mike was a guy you had to like! He was one of the most thoughtful persons I ever knew; a friend for sixty years.
