    I received a warm welcome by Mike as a new employee of the U of A Cooperative Extension Service in 1973. I have remembered his kindness through these many years and extend my sincere sympathy to his family in their loss.

    Mike was the best big brother one could ever imagine. It was so much fun climbing trees and building tree houses in our Hugh elm trees. I was always amazed at his intelligence in judging cows at local and state fairs.. I will really miss my big brother. Rebecca Lynn Moss Davis.

    I will always remember The big, friendly smile he had every time I saw him. He was very helpful and encouraging to me and others as young Ag agents in the Extension Service. He will be missed by those who knew him . I am truly sorry for your loss and my prayers are for the family he left behind.
