Truly a modern day evangelist. Sharing the Gospel and love of Jesus. He was a classmate a year behind me, and a friend and neighbor of mine later in life. Mike you are with our Savior now.

Very saddening to hear of your passing, Michael. You were a bright light shining at Trinity and I was blessed to hear you sing & read scripture during worship on Sundays. Grace & peace to you & family & all of us who knew & loved you, my friend.

I will truly miss Mike and our visits! He always had a great story from his youth when he lived in Altoona (I think he knows about everyone!) and wonderful memories of his family and growing up. He will truly be missed but thankful he is rejoicing with his Savior!
