Dear Carmen and family. Rosalie and I are deeply saddened by Mike's passing. He was my lifelong friend and I have many fond memories of him starting with our high school days. His wit, tricks and humor made us laugh and the priceless memories will stay with us forever. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.

David and I just learned of Mike's passing and we deeply regret that we were not at his Service. Mike has been a good friend since days at American Garelli. Over the years he was most gracious to invite to us to Butterfield and years ago to his guest house at Wild Dunes. Knowing Mike and the Finch family has been a very special part of our lives.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Finch
Through the Lower Savannah River Alliance. He was a great steward for the river and woodlands in our community. I also enjoyed his car collection and the times he took riding me in his prize possessions. Mike you will be missed by our community and we take comfort in knowing you are watching over our great outdoors from above.

Will never forget sitting in a deer stand at the plantation and seeing the Energizer Bunny walk by under me. That was Mike Finch. Dear friend from the mid 60's. So very sorry.

Carmen, Mike was so blessed to have had you as his best friend during those wonderful years of enjoying nature's beauty with all of God's creatures. He found his soul mate in you, fully engaging in all of his life interests, from family gatherings, to travel, to hunting, to casualty recovery volunteer work. And then when he needed strong medical advocacy and tender loving care, he had his own nurse, who never left his side. I will always member Mike for his genuine humble character, with a rare sensitivity for the less advantaged. I believe he never lost sight of what is truly important in life. He will be greatly missed by so many. Each of your wonderful shared memories, and the love and prayers of your friends and family will see you through this tremendous time of loss. Love Karen

We were so fortunate to spend wonderful days at Butterfield Plantation through the years. Butterfield was Mike's passion and he loved to share his plantation with all that drove through the gate.
In addition to being friends we worked with Mike and Carmen on the DMORT-WMD / ALL HAZARDS team. Mike served his country in this capacity for many years as one of the first members.
We have lost our friend but we will always cherish those precious memories that we made together through the years.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Carmen, Mike Jr, Amy, Meg and your families.
