To Mike, Joni, Adam, Alex and Amanda - we share with you the loss and sorrow you are experiencing. We pray God will comfort you and Mike's family for the days to come. You mean a lot to our family, but more importantly to God! Strength and peace be with all of you.

Dad meant so much to this family and that makes it all the more difficult. His happy go lucky personality put a smile (or sometimes a confused look on passer bys) on so many. He, like all the Hitzemans’ are natural born comics. Get them together and your sides will hurt. He will truly be missed by all, but maybe even more so by all of his grandchildren. His guidance to our young ones will not be duplicated, and that is where it will be left to us to keep his spirit alive.
We all love you and will miss you very much.
Tom, Paula, Ashley, Chris, & Joe
