    I am saddened by this loss. Michael was such a funny man. I've known him since I was old enough to walk from Sonny & Sheila's house over to their place. Summers were the best when we all hung out together down in the valley. We had just reconnected recently and it was great fun to talk about our USMC memories. RIP Michael. Semper Fi. Till Valhalla. My prayers are with you, Angie, and your beautiful family.

    Worked with Mike. He was on day shift and I on second, however crossed paths with him close to shift change. He will be sorely missed because he had a sense of humor and and was a good electrician. He also cast a light that you do not often see. My condolences to his family and those who called him friend. A good man with a good heart. God bless.

    Michael was a friend of mine. We graduated same class together, played Football and Wrestling throughout. Both went into the Me Marine Corps. I was able to visit with him at a past class reunion. We had a really great conversation about our Marine Corps days. I was shocked to hear about his passing and don't know what happened. I will be attending the showing. Rest in piece, Semper Fi' brother.

    Although Michael and I are cousins, I didn’t have the opportunity to know him well as an adult; however, I have many memories from when we were children. We often had Christmas at my Uncle Fred and Aunt Judy’s home with Kevin, Michael, and all of our cousins from the Dalton side. I wish circumstances were different to allow more time. I am so very sorry for your loss.

    Seems like yesterday we were standing together on those yellow footprints at MCRD San Diego preparing to forge our armor as Marines. Now the truth can be told regarding "Operation Palm Tree" in front of the chow hall. Your service to country and family will continue in the memories and thoughts of family and friends. See you on the other side, Jarhead. Semper Fi brother!
