We’ve lost a great musician. Mike made music wherever he went….in church, for dancing or just campfire listening. Sing and play guitar with the angels, Mike. We give our prayers and deepest sympathy to Dell Jean and Brian. Peace and comfort be with you in God’s name
Dell Jean & Family Although we didn’t know Mike for that long he sure made us smile & laugh when he played at Amvets. Sunday was a good day, lots of friends got to see & talk to Mike. Our thoughts & prayers are with you & yours a this difficult time. God Bless You. RIP Mike, you will be dearly missed by many.
Dell, Brian,friends and family members…..I was so saddened to hear of Mike’s untimely passing. To some, it is a blessing that he did not suffer long – but not for those left behind. My heart breaks for you Dell. What a wonderful, loving couple you two have always been. Brian, I’m terribly sorry for your loss – it’s hard to lose a parent at any age. Mike was a wonderful, talented and very kind man. He will be very missed by all. Sending you love, hugs and comfort. Rely on all of your wonderful memories and each other at this seemingly impossible time in your lives….
Dell Jean & family, Family of MikeI was certainly surprised to hear Mike had passed.
I am glad I had an opportunity to attend one of
Mike’s dances in Escanaba. I have a CD of his band and
will always play it and remember him by. You have my deepest sympathy.

What a loss – not only for the immediate family but for all who knew him. We’ll keep you in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you and bring peace to you, Dell and Brian. Rapid River will never be the same without him. Thank God this life isn’t all there is, and if we believers are correct, we’ll all be together again in God’s Kingdom when our turn comes.
So sorry for you loss. I knew Mike from when we used to camp at Twin Lakes and when he played for the Rhythm Rockers. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
My sympathies on your loss. I knew who Mike was from his being in the Rhythm Rockers. To my surprise he was one of the guys in out Ft. Knox Basic Training Platoon. I’ll never forget when he got hold of a guitar and sang some songs for the rest of us. We were all Yoopers in the Platoon except for one fellow and we had the best platoon award in the company. You don’t have to be a star to be remembered. I’ll always remember him singing “Oh, Pretty Woman”.
Dell Jean: We are so sorry to hear about Mike. He is no longer in pain and is probably singing for joy. We still play the cd’s you sent us and now they will have even more meaning. Love to you all
Dell Jean, family and friends,I’m so sorry to learn of the death Mike. As others have said, your memories will be there to help in the future. I heard a tribute song for Mike on Wayne Nault’s radio program early this morning. My prayers will remain with you for the challenging days ahead. God Bless all of you.
Dear Dell and Family, You probably don’t remember me. I think it was 1970-71 that Mike and Bill Kobe and Ron Destrampe and a Dennis (drummer) from Gladstone all had a band together. I was married to Bill Kobe at the time. He worked for the cable company. I am Gale.
Very sorry to read About Mike. The world lost a GREAT muscian! Know that my thoughts are with you! Bill also passed 3 years ago. We were no longer together tho.
God’s Peace Be With You and Yours!
