"Heaven has surely received an angel who earned his wings here on Earth. Ever the gentleman and always there to help anyone in need. Mike will be sadly missed by all that he left behind. I had the privilege to have Mike as my brother-in-law as well as a co-worker. Above that I had the honor of calling him friend. To my sister Carol and his loving family and extended family, please find peace in knowing that Mike is now basking in glory of Our Father. To you Surb, "CHOYLE SAYS!! Rest in peace, my friend, rest in peace.""
