"Mike Koch Relation to Deceased: friend I've worked with Mike many times and became we friends. Once we did a job for Aunt Julia, and the family warmth and connection left a big impression with me! Mike was a good Man, and my honest condolences for his family."

"Ellen Hanafin To Mike's family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. Mike did a wonderful remodeling job for my Mom last fall when she returned home from the nursing home. He had her bedroom and ramp ready in no time and we were delighted to work with him. He had such a great smile and "can do" attitude; just a great guy to work with. Our thoughts and prayers are with you."

"Donna Goodenough Relation to Deceased: cousin Just two weeks ago we were sitting on Aunt Cora's front lawn and you were picking on me for putting the lawn mower togeather wrong and had do fix everything I did... And you weren't going to let me hear the end of it..... You were the most loving gentle man and I will always love and miss you.thank you for taking Shawn under your wing ... Love you forever Donna The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive - to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that's left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody"

"Nancy Owens Relation to Deceased: friend.. I can't believe you are gone.. not a day will go by that some part of our home will not remind me of your presence and the gift your talent gave to us. I can hear "hey Nan".. we will look at our antlers on the "gazebo".. we all had to have and be forever grateful God sent you into our lives.. John & Nancy Owens May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. An Old Irish Blessing"

"kathy mclean Relation to Deceased: friend of Lori I remember meeting Michael at Lynne's wedding. He was such a warm and friendly man and had such a gentle way about him.

Not only did I get a beautiful Wife and loving Step Mom for Kyle, I got an incredible Father-in-Law. I've never meet a kinder, more generous person than you. You would give the shirt off your back in a second for someone and not think twice about it. It has been an honor knowing you. Kyle adores you and looks up to you and will miss you very much. He talks about you playing baseball with him just this past Fathers Day. He remembers that being the last time he saw you, a fond memory to have of you putting a smile on his face as you always did. The memories will last a lifetime. Thank You for helping to create them. We will miss you but never forget you.

"richard j colombo Relation to Deceased: friend I worked with mike for 10 years in the automotive replica fabrication field.Mike was both an artist and fine craftsman ,no job too huge or complicated ; If he did not know something he learned it seeming over night. Casting metals,wiring,joinery.construction,jig making,mold making, paint and bodywork 'he could do it all very well and he could hit you in the head with a snowball clay ball or an air stapler and laugh so hard that you always knew who did it. A good man is hard to find a good man with his talent is irreplaceable"

"Amy Gregoryan (D'Errico) Relation to Deceased: Friend Mike was a wonderful man. I have so many fond memories of him as he was a big part of my childhood. I spent so much as a kid with his family that I practically viewed Mike as a second Dad. He was a dedicated father to his two girls and a good friend to my family. I remember Mike and my Dad playing softball together and the many trips our families took together to Darien Lake. He always was kind, generous and a dear man, and I know he will be sorely missed. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they'll live on in the heart."

"Bob Sgro I only met Mike once or twice through being friends with his daughter. I had always heard how good he was at his business and that I know Jen was very proud of him and the work that he did. I am sure now he will be watching his his beautiful daughter Jen as she lives her life with him as her angel and always by her side. And i know that she will take comfort in knowing he got to see her walk down the isle and marry. May God bless your soul and may you watch Jen forever form heaven with as much love as you did with being her father here on earth."

"Belinda and Tim and Seanna Pratt Relation to Deceased: neighbor We will miss seeing Mike every day with a smile or wave. We are very sorry for your loss Megan and Jenifer and Bobbi and Lori and extended family and friends. Mike was a great person and always extended a hand whenever he could. He will be missed by so many people that he touched. Tim and Belinda and Seanna I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You'll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker"
