Sandy and family: So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I wish that there is a song in your heart, sunshine after the clouds, and a rainbow after the rain as time goes in.

Mike and Zhis wife were the first to welcome us to Girard. He was so helpful. I loved to hear him play the organ at the funeral home. He will truly be missed. My sympathy to the family.

Cindy and I send our love and prayers. May God bring comfort and memories to bring peace to you and your family.

Mike and I worked together at LLCC during the early years of the college through his retirement. My condolences to his wife, Sandy, his children and grandchildren. He was a true gentleman with amazing musical talent. Jan Nobbe (LLCC Retired)

Sandy and family, Beth and I are praying for you during these days. We enjoyed our friendship with Mike, and appreciated so much all the creative and educational ways he invested in the lives of others. May the Lord comfort you and encourage you. - Nate and Beth Adams

Sandy and family, I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I took piano lessons from his for many years. So many that it became me accompanying him while he practiced singing for church! I have some great memories of Barnard Music Studio. You are all in my thoughts.

NFMC members mourn the loss of our member and friend.

We will all miss Mike.

Deborah Freeman, NFMC President

My deepest sympathy to Sandy and the entire family. I had the privilege of working with Mike at LLCC for over 30 years. He was the nicest, most sincere gentle man. I also attended one of the churches where he served as music minister. He was truly a talented musician. I have stayed in touch with Mike and his family following my retirement and move. They embody what a great family should be and my prayers go out for their comfort as they adjust to this life without Mike.
