David C. Trimble left a message on November 2, 2012:
I met Mr. Foreman through Civil War living history activities with the Old Court House Museum and Lee's Lieutenants. In a word, he was a "trooper", always willing to participate in any role we asked of him, ranging from a Supreme Court Justice, to a U.S. Senator, to a dazed farmer in the aftermath of battle, searching for a lost cow. His enthusiasm, interest, and support were invaluable, and he was always a complete joy to be around. We will most certainly miss Mr. Foreman. David C. Trimble a/k/a Major General Isaac R.

My sincere condolences to Mike's entire family. He was both my teacher and homeroom teacher his first year at Handley High. He was the best teacher I had for any subject in high school, college or in business. His dedication to his students, his co-workers and the community at large can be seen as an outstanding example to everyone! He will be missed by many. Bill DeLoatche

A huge personal loss of a lifelong friend. Mike has meant so much to so many during his lifetime and will leave his footprint on Winchester and Frederick County for years to come. I will always remember him as a boyhood friend, a classmate, as the gentleman he always was, as a devoted public servant and teacher, as a man unmatched in moral courage and strength of convictions, as a model of excellence in all his achievements, and for the values he believed in. I, as well as many others, will miss Mike Foreman, but we must not grieve for long, for our lives are better for having known him. George William Lanahan Minneapolis, MN

Florence & Michael R. Foreman left a message on November 4, 2012:
Flo and Michael R. Foreman It's been an adventure knowing Mike M. Since Veerlee and I were both school teachers, we would often get calls from parents of our students. And since our husbands were Michael Foreman, we'd get phone calls for them.....and I'd always ask...Do you want the former clerk of court?....Usually they did and I'd tell them to look for Michael M. Foreman. Also, we both had two sons. Many times we'd get mail for Mike M. and so I created an address label that said "the other Mike Foreman," their address, and the mail service would deliver it to them. Mike M. would emcee the JAA Fun Night and he'd always remind the audience that he was the "good-looking" Mike Foreman and my husband was the ugly one!! They both loved their Handley High School and the people that supported this great association. The service on Saturday was just such a tribute to a guy who truly loved his family and his Winchester. I was amazed at all the wonderful things his friends and son shared about his life. There are few persons in this day and age that contribute as much as Mike M. did. I am so glad I got to know Mike. I feel our community will be forever grateful for having had him here. Veerlee, David, Stuart, and family, you have such special memories of this remarkable man. May these memories carry you through the coming months and may God give you strength and comfort. My Mike and I will miss Michael M. Foreman.

Jerry Turner left a message on November 5, 2012:
I just learned of Mike's death. I have the fondest memories from my experiences in his homeroom and as my teacher in his first year at Handley. He made learning an exciting adventure but even more provided us a genuine role model. I have been touched by all the tributes played to him but none more so than that of John Capehart. He wrote that Mike lived the admonition of the scripture while showing us how to be a friend. I believe this blend of his spiritual nature and human compassion clearly reveals how blessed his life was and ours for having been touched by him. May his family be comforted by the treasured memories we each have of our friend. Jerry Turner

E. Foreman left a message on November 5, 2012:
We tend to glorify those who have died and make the memories of them more rosy, this is not necessary in Mike's case. I think we also each try to do what is right as we live our lives. We are for the most part ordinary people just doing the best we can to live, enjoy life and spread some kindness along the way. As I have been thinking of my father-in-law and friend over these past weeks, I have had one persistent thought, especially now as I try to classify him. I can only describe him as extraordinary. As a measure, I see myself thinking of others and being charitable with my time or money many times a year. Mike did this on a daily basis from adolescence to death. He was truly, genuinely interested in others, learning about them and finding out how he might help them through something as simple as giving directions to something as deep as sharing his love, friendship or compassion. He was never to busy for someone in need. I have encountered very few people with his moral fiber and character. He was not a saint :^) and he never felt a sense of "duty" to help others. He did it because he truly enjoyed meeting people and helping them. In our conversations it was easy to tell he felt he was the one who gained enrichment from any encounter, not the other way around. For the past 20 years I have had the great pleasure to be a member of the Foreman family. I, and I hope others who knew him, will continue to learn from his example and try to be the best men and women we can be. He would be honored. My love to Veerle, David, Stewart, Jenn, Kendall, Jack, Maggie, Dylan and Zoe. We will preserve these memories. They are a gift he has given to us all and made us better people.

Veera, David, and Stuart. Its hard to describe your Dad and husband and his impact on my life. Immense. I will tell you that not once in my life was I not glad to see him even if he's handing out his exam! That's how special he was. I feel so lucky to have had him as a teacher and friend for these many years. We all have been cheated, yet I cannot think of Mike without smiling and for me there is no greater epitaph. Sincerely, Rick Kern

Mike was a fellow student at Handley, but 2 years ahead of me. I knew him as a Monitor , but a really nice one if you behaved and onStudent Government. I had not seen him for years as I left Winchester, but he spoke at our 50th Handley reunion last year and even Tom who had never been to Handley got the biggest laughs from his memories of our teachers and life at Handley 50 years ago. He was a very special man for so many. My thoughts and prayers go to all his family especially during this time of acute loss. Joyce Bly Fletcher Naples, Florida

Mike Foreman's passing is a tremendous loss for the Winchester community but it is also a significant loss for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Mike Foreman demonstrated integrity, honesty and genuine leadership as he served in the office of clerk of the circuit court in Winchester. The use of his talents extended beyond Winchester as he developed partnerships with clerks of circuit court all over Virginia resulting in improvements in services offered by clerks of circuit court to citizens of our Commonwealth. My thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family during this time of mourning.

Words cannot express my feeling of loss as I know you and your family are experiencing. Mike was such a wonderful friend, a mentor, a philosopher, a historian, a teacher, a comedian, and a man of such charisma. We will always cherish our memories of him and I know he will always look down on his Clerk friends. He spoke at my retirement and everyone enjoyed him and wondered what great important figure was he! Of course, his words of kindness and sentiments will be treasured in my heart forever. He certainly has walked many paths in this life and I know he will enjoy his last journey and amaze the ones around him and have wonderful stories to share. God Bless All of You and may he keep you close and give you comfort. Fondly, Linda S. Timmons, Retired Clerk of Orange County

I joined local government 34 years ago and Mike was one of the first persons I met. He has been a great friend and he will be sorely missed. I often compared other department heads to Mike which was unfair because none of them could compare to MIke. A favorite excpression of mine was "Be like Mike and grow a pair" and was often said at City Hall.There will never be another Mike Foreman. Rest in Peace Mike and Pace Yourself. Linda Funk
