Sincere friendships in life are rare and cherished and that is how we felt about Mike.

Memories of the days in Waukesha are many and will always be remembered.

Carole, Dolores, Jack & Family:



Sorry to hear about Mike's death. He was a great guy and will be long rembered by many. Al spoke to him recently and they had quite a few laughs about the "olden days". We are unable to attend his funeral, but our prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this time.
