My deepest sympathies to Mike's family. Mike was one of the kindest, gentlest persons I ever met. I know he will be greatly missed by his family and friends, and to the larger community of persons whose lives he touched. Rest in peace, Mike.

RIP Michael. Remembering our time at Richmond Newspapers and Morton's Tea Room. Loved those fried apples - Donna

Mike and I worked together years ago at the Richmond Times-Dispatch. My sympathies to his family and friends.  Rest in peace Mike. - Jennifer Forrest

May God's peace and comfort be with the family. I met Michael in 2015 when searching for the author of the 1979 'Springer Spirit' book chronicling the 40 year history of Highland Springs Football. He said this was the first book he ever wrote. We quickly became good friends as Mike worked on writing the volume 2 Springer Spirit book. I will publish this book in Mike's honor - Phillip Kirby
