Marion, Ben, Chris & Jeremy,
We so wish we could have come last Tuesday. Although we didn't spend as much time with Scott (or the rest of you) as we would like, every time we did it was special. He had such warmth in the way he spoke to people and in his smile. The rest of you have shown that same loving spirit every time we've ever been with you. Please accept our heartfelt feelings of sadness over losing Scotty. You were truly blessed with a great father and husband. Auntie Char was always very special to me and I felt that same kind of connection every time I saw Scott. We love you more than you realize. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will be in touch soon.

Amy, Jake, Kyle & Jared Atwood

We have known Scott for well over 22 years thru the Chicagoland Buick Club. since moving away in 1987, we always looked forward to seeing him at the annual Buick national meets around the country. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Marion, and yours and Scott's sons.

Scott will always hold a special place in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Marion, Ben, Chris and Jeremy.
With heartfelt sympathy,

Dear Marion,Ben, Chris and Jeremy, WE were so saddened to learn of Scotts passing. We will miss his great sense of humor and ready smile. Even when we knew he was not feeling well,. We spoke many times of our grammar and high school Kilmer and Sullivan we talked about the teachers we had Oh what memories. Although we were many years apart. God bless you and the boys from Norman and Lorine Kortus

Although I never got to meet you, I am glad I knew you. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To the Mich Family, Our thoughts & prayers go out to all of you. It was a pleasure to have known Scott, as a customer, a provider of signs, a super power in Park on Park car shows and as a friend. He will certainly be missed.

Your friends at Express Care.

Dear Mich Family,
I remember meeting Scott for the first time in 1985 at an old building in Chicago where his father and grandfather had conducted business for many years. Scott had been ordering some things from the company I was with, so one day on a trip to Chicago I thought it was time to put a face to a voice, so I went to see him. From that time and in subsequent years, he was always pleasant to be around and so kind and gentle in manner. A great guy.
Even though the words seem inadequate, please accept my deepest sympathies.

Scotty, I am so sad! We will miss you greatly, but I know you are hanging out with your parents and grandparents and having a grand old time! We love you and miss you.

Marion and Family, please accept my sympathies on the loss of Scott. It was always nice to see and visit with Scott on my trips down to Chicago and at the Regional events. He will be missed deeply.

Marion,
I am so sorry to hear about Scott...
he is finally in peace!!!
My prayers are with you and your boys...
I know you have many wonderful memories you will hold close to your heart...
Love,

Dearest Marion, Chris, Ben, and Jer-

His love of family, kindness, generosity, and wonderful smile will always be remembered.

May God give you the comfort and strength needed to get through each of the coming days. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

The Malinowski Family

Dear Marion,Ben,Christopher,and Jeremy,

We have so many great memories of all of you. Although we have been separated by a great distance for many years, we have always kept you in our hearts. A picture of Jeremy, Adam, and Davis Jr on your front walk has been on our refrigerator since we left Mundelein in 1996. A constant reminder of all the good times we had together.

My favorite memory and the one I will carry with me is of the time you came to visit us in Erie with the "Robin's Egg Blue" buick in tow. Scott took me for a spin in that beautiful "like new" car. Scott was so proud as we drove around the Penninsula and everyone waved or honked the horn in admiration of that awesome automobile!!! Scott was a kind and gentle soul with a warm smile and a kind word for everyone. It was an honor to have him as a friend.

He was the epitomy of a husband and a father. He will be sorely missed! May he rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you,

Love

Cape, Julie, Kate and Adam

Although the Mich Company has been at their Woodale store for some years, I'll always remember Scott from the Chicago & Halsted location. For years, I thought this mild mannered guy behind a back desk was the bookeeper.
Only by chance one day, did I discover he was "the Guy". A friend and always fair, and a "Car Guy" too! I'll miss seeing him.

I know he's went to a better place, and he's waving down on us right now, and you gotta know, he's wavin' from a Buick.

Gonna miss ya' man.

Ken Sowinski
The Chicago BrushMasters

I had the chance to speak with Scott various times threw my business needs and share ideas of corvairs and hot rodding, He was a great person to talk to and always had good ideas to help a small business owner like myself get ahead easier! He will be missed yet remembered greatly for his good heart, kind words & heartfelt wisdom..

We are deeply sorry to hear about the passing of Scott. Our most heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to the Mich family during this difficult time.

Dearest Marion, Ben, Christopher and Jeremy,

We are so sorry for the loss of your husband Scott, and your Dad.

We felt like family, the several times when we 'broke bread' at Linn and Dennis' home, over many decades.

Lisa, Michael and I hold dearly, our memories of the warmth that we felt from Scott and each of you!
Scott's smile, humor and sweetness is fondly remembered.

With affection, Nancy, Lisa and Michael Klong

Our hearts and heart felt condolences got out to Scott's family and friends. All though I have known the Earl Mich Company for 35 years, I only got to know Scott in the last three. He was a great friend and supporter of the Chicago Brushmasters, a Automotive Artists for Charity organization. He was a great help to us and a exuberant, down to earth and kind man. He will be sorely missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Mich Family. I knew Scott in grammer school and high school and he was a great person.
Sheila (Fisher) Baker

Dear Mich family,

I was very sorry to hear about your loss. Scotty was so young. I knew him from Kilmer Grammer School and he was a great kid. I assume he grew into a great adult! You were lucky to have had him.

I'd just recently found Scott's great company and was saddened by the news of his passing. Our very warmest condolences to the family. May his fabulous smile, good humor and constructive life continue to prove a model for yours, and ours.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Scott's passing. My prayers are with the Mich family as they go through this next step in their lives. I will always remember him as a loving father and husband who supported his son Jeremy at all of his gymnastics meets. Never was his focus on himself and his health, but on others. Peace be with his family. He will trully be missed.

Losing Scott has saddened us and we give our sincere condolences to Scott’s family and friends. Scott and I met on a more personal level a couple of years ago at a car show although our businesses had worked together for many years. I quickly found it was easier to talk with Scott about the automotive hobby than work. I looked forward to seeing Scott at car shows and the open houses Scott provided. We had so much more to talk about, you will be missed Scott.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

We are so sorry to read the sad news of Scott's passing. Scott was so much more than a supplier to us, he was there to answer questions and give advice to make our company better. Talking to Scott over the years you just felt that he truly cared about us and our success. You also learned of his love for his family and cars. Our condolences to Scott's family and everyone else feeling the loss at this time.

Scott was a very loving, caring man who will be greatly missed by all.
My love and deepest sympathy to Marion, Ben, Chris and Jeremy.

Scott touched the lives of many. His "legacy" will live on! His deep love for Marion, his attention to raising his boys...these things will be remembered by all of us. Scott was truly a "mans man"!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Mich family. Scott brought that great family feel to the business and will be missed. We will always remember Scott's smile.

My deepest sympathy to the Mich Family. I had never met Scott but had several conversations with him on the phone concerning business but it always drifted off to a personal level discussing a wide spectrum of subjects. By the end of the conversation I would be laughing so hard my sides hurt. I am very blessed to have known Scott. He was an amazing man. He has touched many, many lives.
The entire General Formulations family will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to Marion, Ben, Christopher, and Jeremy. Scott was a great friend who was always there when you needed help. I will miss our frequent phone conversations about the Buick Club and other activities. With a smile and warm heart he was able to handle any situation. The Peace of God be with you Scott.

May God hold you in the palm of his hand, and comfort you and the boys, Marion. Scott will be greatly missed, and it has been an honor to have known such a wonderful person!

so very sorry to hear about Scott's passing!

My sincerest condolence to the entire Mich family.
I am just one of thousands of people who have had the priviledge of knowing Scott. I have been his customer and friend for over 15 years. His honesty,candor, sense of humor and positive attitude will be greatly missed. What I will miss most is his counsel. He was always willing to listen to concerns and offer help and guidance. He never spoke ill of anyone and always thought of his family and employees before himself.
Scott is loved.

I would like to offer deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to Scott's family and his larger family at EMC. Having done business with EMC for years, we have always appreciated the professional yet personal relationship. He touched many lives and will be missed. Your friends at Van Bruggen Signs.

I am very sorry for your loss. I have known Scott for 22 years as a customer, competitor and a friend. Always smiling. I will miss you Scott. NM Sign Supply

Wow. I didn't even know until I saw the Tribune today. I have known Scott for over 20 years, back when EMC was on Peoria up in the top floor of the building (Sure got hot/cold up there didn't it Tom/Greg?). Bought a lot of supplies, and even an old Anagraph system from Scott over that time. He was a great guy, a fellow Stooges fan, and will be missed. My sincere condolences to the Mich family, and all at EMC.

I met Scott in 1981 when I was a new entrepreneur on the southside of Chicago. The EMC company was based out of a loft warehouse in Chicago at Halsted & Chicago Streets. He had a big Jimmy Hendrix type hairdo :)

He helped me with stick on sign lettering for my storefront window. I knew he was a special and kind person then. We talked for a while and his insight to this day has helped me with other signage issues I have experienced. I last saw him about 2 years ago at the Wood Dale location. I talked to him briefly and told him he had matured well. We talked about his transition from big hair to little hair. We both laughed.

To his family, he was a fine human being and had great passion for what he did professionally. I am sorry for your lost of him at such a young age.

God Bless your family. You will be in my prayers.

My Wife and I send our deepest sympathies to the Mich family, friends and employees at Earl Mich.

The best word to describe Scott is passion. He was passionate about his family,his business,his home and his automobiles. you didn't have to know him, all you had to do was watch him and it was easy to see the passion in every aspect of his life.Not many are blessed with this gift. Cam & Linda Darnley & Family
