Sincerest condolences to Michael's family from Barbara Potter (MacMeekin). Michael was a lovely part of the Potter family, (Coach Harry Potter and wife Carol Potter, daughters Anne and Barb) as were his Mother and Father. My Mother, Barb, was very saddened to Michael's obituary yesterday and sends her sympathy.
Always enjoyed seeing Mike at the office. Positive vibes and condolences to Judy and the family. May he rest in peace!
Mike and I were neighbors and grew up together. Always playing baseball, basketball, fishing or hockey. Fun times for sure. Although I haven't kept in contact with Mike in the recent years, we were always life long friends. My toughts are with his family in this difficult time. May he rest in peace. Stephen Allen
Judy, I have known Mike since he was 7 and I was 5 from the First Reformed Church in Muskegon and had him work on my car at Joe's and then did printing for him in his later years. A great person will be missed. Brian L. Banninga
We will miss Mike even though we are so many miles away. We enjoyed camping with him and Judy several weeks during the summer months over past years.

We have suffered a great loss of special man that much to give to many people. Mike is now enjoying the ultimate fishing outing with our heavenly father. Prayers for faith and healing to all that knew Mike.

I remember a few different time when my son or I would be working on our cars and he would come over to provide assistance. I always appreciated it when he did. I will miss seeing him on the porch and waving as people walked by. Tami Wilson Norton
Thinking of Mike family during this difficult time. Very sorry for your loss. He worked on our cars for many years at Joe's Friendly Service.
