Tim - Jeff - Amy - Kari, My thought & prayers are with you all & your families. I loved your Mom & Dad- have a lot of great memories from the old neighborhood... I remember your Dad's laugh & always smiling. He was a good man & will be greatly missed. Deepest Sympathy to you all.... Tami

It's so sad to hear of Mike's passing. Mike was one of the most generous people I ever knew. I can't believe Mike and Emma are both gone. They will be so missed. Sherry

Keri & Amy, I am so sorry to hear of your dad, Bobby thought the world of him. And, I know you girls made him very proud he spoke so highly of you the last time I saw him. My prayers are with you and you know where I am if you need anything.. love you both.

Mike was loved by many. He truly embodied what it meant to be a nonjudgmental and caring individual. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was just the kind of guy you never heard a bad word about. We all sure had a lot of fun when we were young. Glad to have those memories. My deepest sympathy to his family. Hopefully, knowing that many people thought a lot of him can bring you comfort.

Tim, Jeff, Amy and Karri Words can't express the feeling of loss for your parents. They were a blessings to us in so many ways. All the fun and goods times together will stay with us forever. Our deepest sympathy to each of you.

Mike was my best friend when we were neighbors, ages 5-11. I don't think I ever had a better friend since then. He had a big heart and an unparalleled sense of humor. I am sad that he has passed away at such a young age. The world is minus a really good person. I am sure he earned his wings and has a front row seat in Heaven.

Kari I am so sorry about the loss of both your parents. Stacy told me that your dad had been ill and I was so sad to hear of your mother’s passing. If there is ever anything I can do, please let me know. I thought the world of both of them and remember all the good times we had when you girls were little. Take comfort in knowing that they are now together again.

Tim,Jeff, Amy & Keri, Thoughts and prayers to all of you! There are too many memories and wonderful thoughts for both Mike & Emma. I know Kim, Jim, Jay and I all learned from them growing up and were lucky to have them in our lives. Deepest sympathies. Jeff McClurg and Family

Tim, Jeff, Amy & Kari, Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Mike will never be forgotten, especially that smile. He was such a good and kind man. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Tim, Jeff,Karie,Amy,Rob,Mattie, & Robbie. Mike is one of the most amazing men who has ever walked this Earth. In the years I have known him I couldn't begin to explain the things I learned from him. He's the kind of man everyone wishes they could be. I've never meet anyone who couldn't say great things about him. Knowing Mike isn't here to joke and laugh with will always hurt but he is always here watching over his children and grandchildren and anytime you miss him you can see him in Tim's dedication to keeping the company going. In Jeff's hard work and ability to keep going when all others would be to overwhelmed. In Amy's abilities to never let anyone bother her. In Karies compassion and in the faces of his grandchildren. As we say goodbye to Mike on Earth I would like to thank God for letting me know him.

To Mike and Emma's children, you have my deepest sympathy. Mike and I grew up in the same neighborhood and I always admired him. I met your mother when I was in Junior High. She was so sweet and kind and very funny. Your Dad was a great man. How fortunate you were to have such wonderful parents. Elaine Pryor

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mike. He was such an incredible person and we feel blessed to have had our paths cross. From Denny , Greg, and the staff of The Trojan Horse

Jeff, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Mike was a good friend and will be missed.

Dearest Tim, Jeff, Amy & Kari ~ We simply cannot express how sorrowful we are. Your dad was such a great person to so many people. We shall truly miss his kind smile & gentle ways. It's rare to have someone in your life who can always share their smile & laughter. Your folks were incredibly loved. Much love & heartfelt prayers to all of you. Tom & Jill Hudson

My heart hurts... But, I love you!!! I'll be here for you, Kari!!!

Uncle Mike was such a loving and generous man. His gentleness and care for people was an example that I will always remember. Love to all the kids and grandkids.

I am so sorry I won't make the service. Your parents were such wonderful people and I know you all have years of great memories. I will pray you find peace in those memories. All my love, Sariah

Mike was one of the very best men I have ever known. He will be sorely missed by all who have ever known him.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my condolences to Mike's entire family in regards to his recent passing. Mike and I became great friends years ago as athletes there in the Bloomington area and remained friends over the years. On Saturday, December 17, 2011, I had the pleasure of talking with Mike as we shared memories of years past. There was a lot of laughter in that conversation which I will cherish always. Mike was a great son, husband, father, grandfather and a friend to all who knew him. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to have met and become friends with such a wonderful human being. Mike will be greatly missed by all of us who knew and loved him. Sincerely, Frederick Barry Ford

My deepest sympathy to the Gooldy family. Mike and I grew up in the same neighborhood and I have admired him all my life. He was truly a good man. Emma was wonderful and so much fun. A great loss for so many.

I am so sorry for your loss. Our fathers were lifelong friends and they went into the Marine Corps together, he was even in my parents' wedding. I can remember your dad being at my house when I was little and all the laughter that surrounded him. My father was Charles Brown.

Michael was a unique and very special "fella". I'm better for knowing him as well as getting to know the "Mulch-Brothers". Take good care of one another.

My condolences to Mike's family on the loss of a good man. I always enjoyed Mike's humor and intensity while playing softball with him in 1968 for a team called Mr. G's! It was a team composed of Mike's friends and local buddies, but he made room for an unknown hippie from IU grad school. Yes, we won lots of games since Mike and his friends were superb athletes. He had clear and strong principles of fairness and friendship that he demonstrated on a regular basis in the turmoil of the late 1960s. What I came to appreciate every year since then is that Mike was also a very wise man since he was able to balance all the diversity and skills on the team, while he played and managed--all without conflict. Yes, he loved to have fun and yes, he enjoyed winning. When I take the the field in a few weeks to play senior softball, I will offer my thanks to Mike and his family for all that he shared with the world.

My condolences on the loss of your father. You all will continue to be in my prayers.
