Mike was a quiet and unassuming young man. Sadly, I lost track of him after high school. Obviously, he was more brilliant than I realized.

I remember art class with Mike. He was very easy going and kind. Sad to hear he lost his vision. Our teacher, Mrs. Kuykendahl I understand lost her vision as well later in life.

Mike was my neighbor when we were kids. He was a very nice fellow and his older sister would ride us around Rock Hill. I liked Mike. I am glad to hear of his sucesses.

From Dennis Haire:
Mike Poole - Sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I looked back at a couple of old Northside picture books (the type where you exchanged pictures with friends and pasted them into your book) and in the two I had from 5th grade and 6th grade, there was Mike's pictures. If I am correct, I believe his family lived down the street from Northside Baptist Church. He was nice guy and we shared many classes at Northside. I had not seen him since high school but had heard from someone that he had lost his eyesight. Sounds like he did not let that hold him back. The obituary I saw said he had earned a PhD.

A little shocked right now. Mike and I were good friends and had several classes together. I remember him sketching several faces and was amazed at how he could make creases and shadows in his drawings. As with many of our friends, I never saw or heard from him again after graduation. Sad....
