Condolence: For many years Mike was the fearless leader of our Eastern Maine Baseball Umpires Association. His tireless work with the young umpires, his leadership qualities and his knowledge of the game rubbed off on all of us. His humor will be remembered by all, as each of us has a "Bordie memory" of such. Along with his scoring 100% year after year on our exam , he worked many championship games. The highlight of which was a pitcher named Rogers ( a first round draft pick)of Mt. Ararat was matched against powerhouse Dering for the state championship. Because of the expected overflow crowds, the game was played at Hadlock Field of the Seadogs. The plate umpire was...MR. MIKE.

I miss you, Mike, as an umpire but more as a friend.

Condolence: Dear Bordick Family: So very sorry to learn of my Cousin's passing! Very sad to say that I do not know any of you, but that does not mean you all are not in my thoughts and prayers, for definitely, you ARE...along with "Mikey," too!

I feel I knew Mike quite well during childhood, and our teen years, but lost touch after high school and leaving Ford City, PA. Sending love to all of you; trusting my Cousin's Soul is soaring high! How very much he looks like his Dad, who also reminds me of my Father, Steve, too!
Blessings to all........Barbara

Condolence: Mike was a great friend for over 35 years, as he was always watching us and supporting us at old HA.
As I grew to adulthood we worked together as umpires in the High School world. He was my favorite partner to work with, not just because of his outlook at the game, but his uncanny ability to find the right place to eat - whether the grills in Greenville or the steamed hot dogs in Millinocket - he always chose well.
Mike, Mark and Cindy - I am going to miss this man, his smile, his style and just the person who he was. Rest in Peace my friend.

Condolence: I will always be indebted to Mike for his unswerving support of his fellow umpires, especially the newbies, because he knew how difficult it was to be out there on the diamond, often as a single umpire, with no friend in sight.

In my second year on the Eastern Maine Board of Umpires, I asked him to come down to one of my games to evaluate me. That he willingly agreed to do, and two days later his written evaluation of my tough day at the ball park arrived in the mail, Always the jokester, he summed up his two pages of candid comments with two reminders and a suggestion. "Remember, Steve, three strikes = an out and four balls = a walk. Finally, before the game begins, be sure to work the hometown crowd to see what they are eating. In the later innings, when you get hungry, they might be willing to share!

Throughout the twenty-five years that Mike and I worked games together, I never tired of hearing talk so proudly about the accomplishments of his children and how much they meant to him. I have no doubt that the Great Umpire in the sky has already called him "safe" at home.
