Dave/Nancy Keesling - Dear Peggy, Andy, Paul, and Family, We are very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. We know you will derive strength from the example he set. Since retiring and moving to Arkansas in 2006 we have been blindsided when we read of a friend's death in the newspaper. There is a plan for all of us. Here's hoping we all meet again someday. Your friends, Dave & Nancy

Mike Porch - I am shocked and dismayed to hear of Mike's passing. Even though our friendship was brief, Mike and I had become good friends after our retirements from Delphi having spent many hours together in Bedford, Indiana and Chihuahua, Chi, Mexico during 2008 and 2009. In the brief time I knew Mike I came to realize how great a man, father and grandfather he truly was. He will be sorely missed by those that knew him, and my condolences and prayers extend to all who loved and enjoyed life with him.

Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Kumar Rajasekhara - Dear Peggy, Andy and the entire Lewman Family, We were really shocked and saddened by the news that Mike died recently. Please allow me to pass along my condolences. These heartfelt condolences are also sent from our company, the Marsilli Group. I had worked very closely with Mike during his tenure at Delphi and I considered him not only a business colleague, but also a good friend. I have very fond memories of our working relationship and he was a gentleman in every sense of the word. I am sure that you are all still trying to deal with his loss. Please accept our heartfelt feelings and prayers as you try to carry forward without him. Truly yours, Kumar Rajasekhara
