To Mike's Family and close friends,
Tim & I were stunned to learn of Mike's passing. We knew Mike from the Reston Dog Park, and we also shared Mike's love of Boxer's. Our current boxer, Bailey, will miss Mike's pat's on his head, and rubbing of his ears. Tim & I will miss Mike's wit & humor, and most of all, his friendship. The world is a sadder place without Mike in it, but all those puppies over the Rainbow Bridge are jumping for joy, because their friend & protector Mike is there with them. God Bless you Mike.##imported-begin##Lisa McKee##imported-end##

I could always count on Mike to be at the dog park on Saturdays and Sundays. There was always a safe place on the bench for Karma and me. His spark, wit and charm meant that if I was "Big Dog" side, I had to talk to Mike and visit with his dogs. He will be greatly missed.##imported-begin##Laura and Karma##imported-end##

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Mike's passing. We could count on seeing Mike on Saturday and Sunday mornings at the Reston Dog Park where a group of us would sit and discuss everything under the sun for hours on end. He was a kind and sweet person who never had a bad word to say about anyone. And Lord did he love his dogs - Cosmo and Clara. He always found time to give all of our dogs attention, a rub on the ear, a pat on the head or a scratch on the back. The bench at the dog park won't be the same without him. He will be missed. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and close friends.##imported-begin##Agnes V##imported-end##

I did not know your son, but oftened visited the Leesburg Dog Park, I would see his "super bee" parked in the lot and knew he would be there with his beautiful dogs. God called him home too soon , but I hope you find comfort in knowing what a gentle soul he had for humans and animals.##imported-begin##Jenn##imported-end##

Dear family of Mike,
Bill and I lived directly across the street from your beloved Mike. We were so saddened to hear of his too early passing.

We loved watching his much loved companions looking out the windows of his office. He so loved these animals and they were more,they were his friends.

We are so sorry to miss the celebration of his wonderful life as we will be out of town. Please know that we will be there in heart. May you find comfort in the years that God gave you to share with this son, brother, uncle and friend.

I already miss you, Mike. I'm so dreadfully sorry that I did not get to see you one last time and say goodbye... You were one of the most genuine, caring people I have ever encountered. The world would be a much better place if we all had even a drop of the compassion you possessed. You touched so many lives with your humor, kindness, and undeniable quick wit- you always were one step ahead of me with the teasing! You will never know just how much you helped me through one of the most difficult tomes of my life. Until we meet again....

Much love,
Emily##imported-begin##Emily Carr##imported-end##
