I remember the first time I met Mike at a young age of 18. He and Don were playing washers under the big tree at Lou's. As brothers do, they always told the other one they just got lucky. Mike had a wonderul mother along with a wonderful brother and sisters who were all as much fun as he was. His smile, his sense of humor and how he always took my money playing cards, smiling while he did it! Those are the memories I will keep about Mike. May God's peace be with the family, know you are in my prayers.

In memory of my Uncle Mike. I remember a summer day when I was a little girl out on the lake fishing with my Dad (Don) and my Uncle Mike. As I sat with my cane pole I remember thinking to myself what a great time I was having with my Uncle & Dad. Precious Memories of a special Uncle.
