I had the pleasure of working with Mike at Tosoh. We only overlapped for a short period, but I was always struck by how kind he was, even when he was struggling. He was a good man and a proud veteran, I'm glad I had the chance to meet him. Sending my deepest condolences to his family during this difficult time. 

"Ker-Mock" is the distinctive sound the pins make when the bowling ball just knocks down the 4-7-8 pins or the 6-9-10 pins. Mike dubbed this term over 50 years ago and it has been the source of great laughter ever since. It is just one example of Mike's great wit and humor. May Mike's joyful spirit rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about Mike passing. I worked with him at Tosoh, and he was always friendly, and quick with a joke. My sincere condolences to the family, may he rest in peace.

We grew up together, he was always a good guy to be around.

He always cheered me up when I was down & same for him I'm sure!!! He was a very special friend to me & was always grateful to cut his hair!!! He will be missed by many & many more!! I'm so saddened by this news....God bless your soul my friend & farewell till I see you on the other side!!! Many prayers,love & gentle hugs to his family!!! 😇🪽💝🙏🙏✝️😥💔💗
