i was once told the best epitaph one could have is ‘He was a Good Man’ – that’s an epitaph Mike earned several times over. He will be missed and he will be remembered.
I am sorry to hear about the loss of Dr Boska. His life had far reaching impacts. My son is a PhD candidate at UNL and was scheduled to begin working with Michael on his related research. I just want to extend my personal condolences on your loss and hope his work will continue to help others.
We are so very sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers!!! Your friends in Ohio, Brenda and John Gable
Those were some great winters skiing with Mike in Utah’s mountains. I had some of the best conversations with Mike. My thoughts are with you Marge and Mike’s family. I will miss those bear hugs on skis. What a great guy.
My husband and I are truly sorry for your tremendous loss and would like to express our condolences to the entire family. We cannot imagine the great pain and sorrow you are experiencing during this very difficult time. It is our sincere hope you find comfort in knowing that God has promised to “swallow up death forever” (Isaiah 25:8), and that he will resurrect our dear loved ones who have passed away. (John 5:28). May your many great memories help you find peace and comfort as you go through the coming days.
