Mrs. Igoe and Family.

Mr. Igoe was my scoutmaster at St. Louis back in the 70's. He was a great guy and I think of the many life lessons I learned from him often.

Dear Igoe Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I have such great memories of Mr. Igoe. He always made Donna and me laugh as we spent time at your house during our high school days. A great neighbor to our family and a kind person. The memories will live on.

Dear Eileen, Maureen, Michael and Family:

Mike was a gentle man with a great smile and demeanor. He always had a kind word for all and had time to stop and say "how are you doing." He is at peace now and in the arms of his Heavenly Father. His gentleness, warmth, love and faith will endure. That is a rich legacy that he leaves for all of you. We are all a little better for having known him. May heaven's riches be his reward and his memory forever etched in your hearts.

Moe & family, I never had the pleasure of meeting Mike, but if his daughter is an indication of the type of man he was our world has lost a wonderful Soul. You are all in my Prayers - Jesus will watch over you and give you strength. Love, Eve
