Deb my heart is hurting for you and I can only pray that God will bring you comfort.
I have so many fond memories hanging out with you two at the Busch events.
All my years working with Mike were amazing. He was such a great guy. RIP Michael J.✝️
I worked with Mr. Mike for 13 or so year at Busch. Always he was such a serious person, I made it my goal to tell him"good morning" every day. I'll never forget the day that he smiled like a child and said it back. You'll be missed boss.
Deb, you are in my thoughts and prayers. The love you and Michael shared was very special -- your devotion and commitment to one another was inspiring. I enjoyed watching how Michael looked at you when you were telling a story. His eyes just smiled -- I could tell how much he enjoyed being with you. The laughter you two shared is something that will provide so many memories for you to relish in the days to come.
My heart is broken for you, my friend. I am praying for you and your family to feel God's nearness during this sad time of loss. I will always be there for you.
Much love -
Kim Brannan
Closing the door behind us, Mike Scalise and I would enter Penton's office in the 80's, ready to do battle over the annual train ride budget. Beaten and bloodied we all were at the end, but beans were counted,(by Penton), and trains, tracks, and such, were maintained moving forward. Worthy adversary, but always with the good will of the company in mind. I'd known that guy since I was 17 years old, he will be missed. RC.
We were so saddened to hear of Michael's passing. Our deepest condolences to you Deb and Uncle Ernie and Aunt Dorothy, and Dwayne. The love and joy Michael shared with us when we visited will never be forgotten. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. May God wrap His arms around you for strength during this sorrowful time.
Love and prayers,
Cindy and Mike Malkowski
I just hope that you found peace boss!!
Mike will be missed for his dedication to work. I always enjoyed talking to Mike about all sorts of life activities.
Prayer for comfort and strength for all the friends and family at this time. Thoughts with you all on the 14th
Not sure how many Busch friends or those of you in the family will know who I am, but I want you to know that Mike had a huge impact on me. He took me under his wing as a young Supervisor and even though he seemed to get true pleasure out of jabbing me pretty consistently I always remember laughing about it with him. My favorite Mike story involves us sneaking a little bass fishing in before starting our shifts in GR and the front area. The last cast two big bass hit the same lure. Mike and I were the happiest bass fishermen on the planet and had to take the fish to Debbie’s job to show her. That day and that Mike is what I will always remember.
Deb my heart goes out to you and Mikes family and close friends for the suddenness of your loss of Mike. Perhaps there is someone who can make sense of this. It’s a huge loss at the park as well because Mike was the git er done guy there. I wish he was aware of his value and was more at peace with himself. I will be here for you if you need me. ❤️
We meet so many people at work, but some people have a profound impact on so many, and Mike was one of those rare people. I will miss his dry wit and humor that was always delivered with a smile when he came to start-up meetings. He will be greatly missed. My prayers and deepest sympathy go out to his loved ones. Rest in peace Penton.
