My condolences to your family! Mike was a customer at Wells Fargo! He was a great guy!
Surely will be missed! He crossed my children for many years. Always a good man, may he rest easy. Prayers to the family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Mike was such a kind and happy soul. He was so cheerful and kind to my kids. They always looked forward to seeing him. He would bring them grapes and potato chips sometimes and the kids would love it! He would always tell me “i’ll see you next time. My wife doesn’t want me back yet!”. He loved lancaster and would always talk about me taking my kids there. He would beam with pride when talking about his family. His kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. He became a friend. I’m sorry for your loss. He will truly be missed.God Bless.

Prayers to the the family. I always had some chats with Mr Bernard while he was getting ready for crossing guard duty. He would park right outside of my home. Very friendly man, I was heart broken to see this.
didn’t know Mike, but in reading of his life, know that he is my kind of neighbor.. Thanks Mr Douglas for being an American role model. This country needs more neighbors like you.
He helped us cross the street every day while my son went to Hilltop. He was a kind and wonderful person.
