Michael was a design engineer for Nestle Purina for over 30 years; a proud member of the Elks Lodge 2372 for over 38 years, he was a brilliant man with multiple patents. Michael was a machinist, outdoorsman, but his greatest joy was being a family man. He is gone….but never forgottten.

So sad to hear about Mike’s passing. We worked on a team together at Purina for several years. He was always telling stories about his family and his vacations, plus he was my “go to” person whenever I needed a tool to perform a fix-it issue in the office. He always had a smile. My sympathy to Mary and the rest of the family.
I will always remember Michael by his smile, but more so, for what a loving & compassionate husband he was for Mary. He was always there when she needed help. Plus the whole time that I’ve known him & Mary, I can, 1in all honesty, say that I’d never heard him say anything bad about anyone. Please accept my condolences, know that I’m praying for you all and what a fabulous, “stand-up” guy he was.
Keep him in your hearts. I’m sure you are all still in his.
I worked with Mike on many projects over the years at Nestle. I could always count on him to draw up plans for what I needed for parts. I enjoyed working with him and enjoyed his positive attitude. Sorry for your loss.
I worked with Mike when we were both with Nestle Purina, a brilliant man and nothing was ever too much trouble. Very sad to hear that he has passed.
Thank you for your comments and memories of Michael. We miss him so very much every day.
