"I only learned of Michael's passing yesterday, Sep 11 from a friend from Speedway. I am among the students of SHS class of 67. I grew up with Michael and his brother Marty when we lived on West 11th Street in Speedway. As kids we had lots of fun climbing trees and riding bicycles on the street. If I remember correctly, the Moore family had a dog named, "Chief." Times change and we all grow up but the happy memories remain. Susan Irwin"

"You where a kind and generous man. You will be missed?"
"Too all Mike's family, Lori, and friends I'm so very sorry for your loss and I was so very privileged too have worked for Mike for 10 years, he believed in me, when I found it hard to believe in myself. His kindness and character I will truly miss. Prayers for you all."
