I heard about Miles for yrs. Then in May 2022, I finally got the privilege of meeting him & Andrea for the first time!! He is an absolute legend in his own Right!! I am sad for his many loved ones who adored him!! A huge loss indeed!! Blessings to his wonderful wife & family!! You do great works for Society & his legend will forever live on!! Huge Hugs from Montana!!!

I just heard the news of the sudden passing of Mike Standish. I am in shock. We were neighbors and friends. We grew up on the same street and played just about every outdoor kids game that has ever been invented. We shared a common fondness for the Chicago Cubs (we once floated an inflatable raft into the middle of West Lake to listen to a game). He was one of the most sincere and charismatic people I ever knew. Rest in peace my dear friend!

We are shocked at Mike's passing. He grew up down the street from us and went to Portage Central with my sons. Mike always made it over to our house when he returned to Portage. Our deepest condolences to the Standish Family. May He rest in God's arms and have everlasting peace.

Wonderful Andrea,
We are so sad to hear the news of Michael’s passing. Our prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of someone so dear.
We are very thankful for your prayers during our difficult times. 
Hoping that your happy memories will comfort you. God bless you, Andrea.
WE LOVE YOU!
Nancy and Ed

I unfortunately did not have the fortune to meet Michael in person, but I am friends with Andy, his wife, and we have been working together to implement psycho-social services. Upon hearing the news of Michael’s passing, I was deeply saddened beyond words. Andy's grief is profound, and I can only imagine the loss she feels.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the support Michael provided to psycho-social services in Georgia. His support had a significant impact on the lives of hospitalized children and their families and enabled us to achieve so much for these vulnerable children. His contributions were invaluable and instrumental in our efforts to enhance the well-being of those in need.
His legacy of kindness and his contributions to the betterment of others will forever be remembered and cherished. My thoughts are with Andy and their loved ones during this difficult time. May they find strength and solace in the memories of Michael's remarkable life.

Sue and I are heartbroken! We have lost an amazing person. Mike was filled with compassion for his fellow being. His smile would brighten up anyone that would come his way. The most giving soul we have ever met! Rest in peace dear friend. Bob & Sue Kiser

Andy,
My heart is with you. I'm so sorry for your incredible loss. I know how much you loved and admired Miles. We will continue to keep his legacy strong.
Much love, Shani

A friend. a mentor. and often times so much more than both. Miles could be in a room with 100 people and make them each feel like they were the most important … and they’d be right. he gave so much to so many and we each feel like we experienced a deep tragedy… and we’d be right. god bless you Andrea And all of us who loved Miles and are in shock and sadness. 

Truly shocked at his passing. Was a driving force in numismatics and will be missed by many! My condolences to Andrea and family.

Dear Andrea, I cannot imagine your loss. All I have ever known of you is giving to others. God bless you,

A genuine gentleman. Rest in peace, Miles...

I had the privilege of working with Miles at Collectors Universe in the early 2000's, and was blessed to have gotten to work with and know him in and out of work. I'll cherish the memories - one specifically, on his bucket list was paragliding, and my husband did that and so we planned for Miles to do a tandem with a good friend of my husband's - we met Miles and Andy, and all went together, Miles did his tandem flight and loved it and then the four of us went to dinner at one of Miles' favorite spots, Claim Jumper. Another one that stands out, is getting the opportunity to work with Miles on the Jessica Lynch project at Collectors, I had the honor of being the notary - thank you Miles for all you did!! Rest in Peace

Today is my Birthday and I am thanking God for our fellowship time we spent together with Andrea, Tarita and your ukulele. We are watching Your Memorial Service my friend. You will always be in our lives and I want to thank you for leaving a Legacy by teaching us the meaning of what it is to be a Valued Friend.
Thank you Andrea for sharing Michael Miles Standish with us and the world. We Love You Miles and We Love You Andrea. Tarita and I are Forever Grateful for Your Labour of Aloha Your Labour of Love. Aloha My Friend. 

I met Miles many years ago when Andy and I were exercise buddies and Standish Foundation for Children was barely more than a dream. Miles called me spunky, and said that he liked spunky. I thought I like this man with the big smile and confident demeanor. I was one of his Facebook peeps who kept up with him as he traveled the world. I will always remember his wicked sense of humor and his positive attitude. Miles will be missed by many relatives, friends, colleagues, and peeps.

Miles, The first time we spoke over the phone it was so much fun because I couldn't stop laughing at your quick witted nature. The day was November 10, 2021. In our conversation I remember letting you know Sydney Holst told me it was almost your 56 birthday. I sent a portrait painted by Ben Garrison of The People's General Michael T. Flynn and signed by Ben and General Flynn. The numbered portrait was #56. I am sharing his message to me because you loved our country and had great respect for General Flynn. Miles was looking forward to justice in our nation. You know more than us now in the cloud of witnesses. I believe watching over us all.
His message to me; Sharleta, I just love the art work of GF. It's absolutely gorgeous and feel honored to have this. On top of his military credentials to be apart of this time and so closely to the "Plan" Thank you so much. Miles Standish
My heart will never forget your laugh and all those silly animal videos. Including me in your Itty Bitty Club with Sydney. Old songs and old movies will be forever something to cherish because they made you happy. Forever friends, we will meet again. God be with you Andy we are here for you. You are loved. Sincerely Sharleta

Miles, you Sir are a giver and creator of many smiles and great laughter. I am honored to have had the time I was able to share with you. You made me feel welcome and a part of your life in the few years I was blessed with to get to know and spend time with you and 'Andy'.  I am grateful for what you did for me is a huge understatement. God bless.

Jay and I will never forget our first meeting with you in New York, to spend such an amazing evening with you and to really get to know you was an absolute privilege & Blessing, You will be our forever our friend.
