Marie, Angie and Michael:

My Mom just called to tell me about Mike's passing. Please accept my sympathy at his passing. I will always remember that he took me, my brother Dan and Angie and Mikey to see the Christmas Around the World display at the Museum every year! What a treat that was. I heard an advertisement for the display a few days ago and fondly remembered our "outings". What a fine man he was!

Hello Family, I'm sitting here at work and I don't know what to say. We love Uncle Mike very much and he is with mom now, I guess she will set another plate at Christmas. We will never forget the memories. We can always use the help from up there. And since I was 1 of 31, I hope I was one of his favorites, at least I will think that. All our Love Always, Dawn & Jeff
