So sorry
I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to Jerry & the family. God Bless you all.
Prayers to all.of.you so sorry for your loss he will be missed.
What a long battle it has been my friend. So glad you have peace. I remember so many jobs we did together over the years. So many laughs along the way. You and your coffee requests with “a little ice”. Your famous line of being “about a 1/4 done”. Your knowledge and love of cars and bikes was like no one else I have known. Helping me get my work van fixed on many occasions or diagnosing my car issues. Once in a while we even got to have a drink together at a music event or when you came out to one of my shows. You always took time to talk to my children and my parents. Always asking how everyone was doing and saying “Tell them I said Hi!” I will miss you dearly. I know you are hanging in heaven with your Mom, Dad and Jean. Until we meet again, thanks for the friendship, love and laughs. ❤️
Carmella and family. So sorry for your loss. I’ve only known Carmella and Warren, but if he was anything like them, he was a real treasure. Praying for you.

Oh sweet cousin, you have been and always be in my prayers Mike. I’m so blessed to have spoken with you just before the Lord called you home. Sweet blood of Jesus in the hope that we will see each other again. I love you dear cousin .
So very sorry for your loss.
Mike, as the sun shines and the wind blows, we will look onward for you. We both hope that you are at peace in heaven, where else would you be, our dear friend. Say hi to our friends, that have passed before you and welcome those who have passed afterwards. May memories of you comfort your loved ones and dear friends as their hearts mend from the heart break that they are enduring. Tina and Bosh.
