I am going to miss you Mike. We had a lot good times together.
I miss you so much Uncle Mike. Talking to you on Monday has become priceless!!! Even more so because before we ended our conversation, you wanted to make sure you told Amélie and Zoey you love them. Above and beyond, thank you for being you!!!
Sorry our friendship didn't last longer. Mike was always a good neighbor,we enjoyed the wild life in our back yard,and would report our latest findings. He was very generous with the use of his golf car when our son was on home visit. He will be missed. May you rest in peace. Leo Irma &Scott.
Sending prayers to the family of Mike.. He was a really great guy. Grew up with him and his family. Sorry for your loss.
Mike thank you so much for watching over me each morning while I was on my way to work. I know and pray that God Is Watching Over You Now.
I will miss you my Friend Until we meet again.
Rest In Peace, dear friend. We will miss your laugh and smile. We will cherish our long time memories. See you on the other side, brother.
You were always one of my Favorite Sergeants with a good heart and open ear. I will always love and admire you. You were always sweet and understanding to me and my sister Kim West. We enjoyed working with you. RIH
Mike and Judy were a port in the storm when Ray, Mimo, and Kate needed it most; they never forgot. Mike and Ray were the kind of friends where they could go for months without talking and the next time they did, they picked up just where they left off. That is rare and so was Mike. We will miss him.
My heart goes out to Judy, Carlyle, and Carrie. Mike and the rest of you were so important to me at such an important time. Love and prayers for you all.
My condolences to the family

Prayers for Mike and his family. Mike was a good friend and will be truly missed.
My condolences to the Neuman Family.
Miss Uncle Mike and his random voice messages/calls to touch base or just say that he loves me. Remember him staying with me when an Undergraduate at Tulane in New Orleans. Had a great time and we will leave it at that :) Have nothing but great memories of him growing-up. Was difficult after my mother died (his sister), but Mike always took the initiative to stay in touch and ensure family was doing alright. Remember seeing his “Bronze Star” license plate growing up; he would just respond “it’s not all like you see in the movies” and leave it at that. I am partly a doctor today as a result of Uncle Mike giving me his police business card on my 16th birthday (“any courtesy you show my nephew would be appreciated, Mike Neuman Badge #...”. He passed so suddenly and way to early; wish I could have told him one last time how much I loved him, what he meant/means to me, and that think of him and the rest of our family often. I wish I could be there in person for the visitation on 02/12, although do not have the words... Love everyone and hope to be able to hug/kiss everyone soon.
Thinking of all of you. He sure will be missed! There are so many reasons why, but some of my fondest memories growing up included him and your family coming to visit us in the burbs, numerous tractor rides, and camping trips in Door County. He meant so much to the Inman family and we will miss that special bond. Farewell for now “Cuz”.
