Dear Bobbie: I just learned of Mike’s passing at Mr. Pennell’s visitation. The world has lost two great men in the last month. Mike and I played varsity basketball together in ’62 and ’63. He was a great playmaker. He was always kind to this ‘underclassman’ basketball player. I would also see Mike when I visited Jerry and Peggy Tweed on Cane Creek. We had some good times. Thank you for all you did cheerleading our teams to victory. I know it took a lot of time and effort. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Bobbie, Brian, and Scott,
I am so saddened to hear this news. I heard about this just a few days ago and can’t even begin to imagine what you all are going through. I know that you will miss him so much. I have many fond memories of Mike at church and through all the years of Reynolds and sporting events. He had such a wonderful personality and I always enjoyed his company. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
With Love,
Tina
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through these times. God Bless.
Mike was my favorite baseball coach during my days at ACR and I still remember the good times we had playing ball and I have great memories of your husband and father.
May God Confort you during this time.

Bobbie, you and your family are in my prayers. We all loved Mike and have lots of good memories. I wish I could have seen Mike these past years. He is a wonderful person. God Bless you. Love Peggy
Hold on to your memories, and let them guide you during this time of sadness. Take comfort – those who love will be reunited in eternity.
I am saddened by the loss of my childhood friend. Growing up in the Cane Creek community, we played together, went to school together and to church at Tweed’s Chapel Mehodist. There are so many memories there. My thoughts and prayers are for Mike’s family in this difficult time.
We have wonderful childhood memories of Mike, Bob, Belle and
Carter. Our prayers to the family.
He was my best friend through childhood. The world has lost a wonderful person.
Bobbie, Brian, Scott and Bob – Our family all are so saddened at the loss of Mike. He will always have a special place in our memories of school and church as youngsters. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With love and sympathy,
David and Margaret Reed and Family
Bobbi, Brian & Scott… I was very sorry to hear about mike. He was a great guy and I always looked forward to seeing him at the games on friday night at ACR. I am looking forward to one day picking on him again about DUKE. I’m sure that he will be waiting on us… I really wish that I could have made it to the service. You all will be in my thoughs and prayers…
Bobbie, Brian and Scott: As you know, Mike meant a tremendous amount to me during some important years of my life. Tonight my mind is suddenly full of memories: of Mike and me playing guitar and singing together (as a duo or with Bobbie, Mom and Ernie); of the two of us and others playing basketball in the Oakley school gym during Christmas break or on snow days; of much warm laughter and rich talk; of the joy on his face at any given ballgame (especially when Reynolds was winning); much more and much more.
Receiving news of his death has cut deep, but I’m certain my pain is slight compared to yours. Forgive me for not being present at his funeral, but I didn’t receive the sad news until the Monday after.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
Mrs. Tweed & family,
We just recently learned of Mike’s passing and wanted to extend our heartfelt sympathy.
Mike was a very kind and compassionate person. I remember how he delighted in the achievments of the ACR Cheerleading Team. We are sincerely grateful for your hard work and dedication year after year to the cheerleading team. You certainly helped mold some pretty terrific kids into successful adults.
Again, our deepest sympathy.
Ginger and Doug Seay
