I too was shocked and saddened to hear of Mike’s sudden passing. It was always a pleasure to conduct business at Surplus Trading with Mike and his crew, Mom, Dad and Greg. My last conversation with Mike was just before he was going on his Ireland vacation, he was so excited and full of life! My thoughts are with you during these difficult times.

Growing up, we were backyard neighbors of the Turk family. Very quickly we formed a close relationship to this loving family. Mike stole all our hearts with his adorable little 7year old face and infectious laugh. Mike and my brother Butch became fast friends. I’ll never forget the day, after I had gotten married, when this dashingly handsome, athletic man knocked on my door. I didn’t recognize him. Mike laughed and laughed. Mike had ridden his bicycle from Stevensville to Baroda to see me. I will cherish this memory of him always. Becky and Les, Eileen and girls, my heart breaks for you. Mike was one of a kind and will be truly missed.
