Mike and I met in the fall of 1969. He was one of the very nice guys. He was loved and respected by his students and faculty. He leaves me with some very wonderful memories and will be missed by anyone who had the pleasure to know Mike Hayes

Mike will always be remembered as our family reunion guy. He always had such a great time seeing everyone and was always very generous to open up his house each summer for us all to enjoy. I guess we will have the Mike Hayes memorial family reunions in his honor now. Love to Susie and all Mikes family.

My cousin Mike - one of the best people you could ever hope to meet. Sense of humor, integrity, service to others, a man of faith. He would scoff at all of these accolades, but not only did he talk the talk, he walked the walk. Our family will miss him terribly, but we know that he will be watching us still.
