Mike mattered a lot to me when we were still teens and into our twenties, he had a great laugh and a way with people. He once called me his angel. Remember him liking to listen to Hall & Oates....He knew some tough losses as an adult. I'm sorry he's gone and ask for God's peace on those who loved him.

I was so sorry to hear about Mike. I will remember him for all the good times we had during our marriage .The crazie camping trips he took me on and our other adventures he like to go on. It didn't matter if it was a big one or a small one, he just loved to explore. I know he will be missed by all that loved him.

We were at North together. He was always so kind to everyone. Glad I got to see him last year at our 40th reunion. He will be missed.

I have fond memories of Mike and childhood family get together gatherings at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I also enjoyed the good family times at Deni and Jake's home when we would meet for Thanksgiving. I will miss him, his stories, his humor, and his laugh. Please know that my thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Love, Katie

Those we Love remain with us,
For Love itself lives on.
Cherished memories never fade,
Because a loved one is gone.
Those we Love can never be,
More than a thought apart.
For as long as there is a
Memory
Theyll live on in our heart.
