I am so sorry for your loss, yet happy to have known Mike. Always the big joker, and always free to share an opinion, yet extreemly sincere and always willing to help out with work or personal advice. He will be missed, in so many ways. He is in a better place with better health, giving someone else a hard time.

As the former Fleet Manager for Clemson University I often contacted Mike on vehicle fleet related subjects. He was always ready, willing, and able to assist in any way. Although I nerver met Mike I did consider him a friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Just remember, you will meet him again in a a better place.

To the Moneymaker Family
As a former UT co-worker and carpooler with Mike, I was shocked to read of his passing. I always enjoyed Mike, and we enjoyed catching up on the years when we'd occasionally 'bump' into each other. My wife and I will miss him. May God impart His special comfort to your hearts.
