Sally,Michael and Eric, I´m so sorry I didn´t know of Mikes passing. From knowing him in the past and reading now about his life, he truly had a life well-lived. He touched many people in various ways- I especially remember the joy he brought in doing magic shows, scheduled and extemporaneous as circumstances presented. He always seemed to me to be a source of joy when other things in life didn´t always seem joyful. I love you all and hope to connect with you soon. I have moved back to Jonesborough after retiring to be closer to some of my children and grandchildren. Love so much. Sue (Moore) Cantrell

Sally and family. I am sorry to read of Mikes passing. I just saw the obituary. I remember his entertaining magic shows and hanging out with you both when you lived on SW Ave I think. I´m sorry to have lost touch. But will forever remember both your kindness and love for each other. Love. Sue

I am so sorry, I am just now seeing this obituary online. My condolences and prayers for peace and comfort for the family. Mike was active with Cub Scouts when his oldest son was young. He was always such a hit with all the kids. His talents as a magician were amazing.

Sally and family,
So sorry to hear about Mike. We know he's in a better place. He was always upbeat and made you smile. I remember in church he did the children sermon and would always do one of his magic tricks.
RIP MARINE / SEMPER FI
