Condolence: So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Condolences to Paul, Jane, Andrew, Doug, your families, and Mike's partner.
I remember how he loved to laugh.
We so enjoyed visiting all of you at your farm when we were kids, and your wonderful Mom, Marilyn, too. Swimming in the pond, the fresh milk & cream, always an adventure.

Condolence: Our sweet condolences for Mike's partner, his childeren, grand and greatgrandchilderen.
I remember visiting Mike at the farm with my sister Jane Luyks-van Alphen a long time ago and about 15 years ago with my brother Jan and sister in law Jose. We were welcomed very warmly. He loved to have company and we enjoyed it very much. One day he took us to a cattlemarket. We had a great time.
Love from a Dutch cousin and my brother and sisters

Condolence From: Tony di Bella
Condolence: Although I only met Mike a few times he always made me feel like I had known him my entire life. His personality came through his smile, happy demeanor and welcoming charm. I no longer wonder where Jane got her good nature, personality and compassion. A very nice man has left us. He will be missed. Kathie and I extend our deepest condolences to the entire Van Alphen family.
