I'm so sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. What a great guy he was! In Alpharetta, we always had so much fun when he would visit... he had stories for days on end! I know he will be missed, and I also know he was a blessing in your lives. My prayers are with you.

We are so saddened to hear today of your dad passing away. Eventhough it was just the few times, we really enjoyed being in his company. It is more than apparent how close you all are, and I can't express sufficiently enough in words how sorry we are that you need to endure such a great loss.

We wish we had known sooner. Please know that we are here for you, thinking of you, and praying for you.

Sincerely,
Andy, Deborah and Jamie Duchaine

We met through Mike, Jamie, & Mike III. He was always cheering on Little Mike from the stands whether at Baseball or Basketball. He never held back on his love of the Packers even though he was is "Bear" territory. He was just "cool" which carries over to his Son & Grandson. He will be missed by all who admired his as "Mike's" Grandpa. Cherish your memories and find comfort in your Family & Friends.
