Mrs. Holodinski, Debbie, Cindy, Gail,Carole, Brenda, and Michael: I would like to send my condolences on the passing of your Husband and Dad. He sure did love all animals and was always smiling! I used to look forward to "getting the cows" with you all. We will all miss his wave to passing cars, and a great neighbor. Be happy to know he is at rest with God.

Gwen and famly- I am sorry to read of Mike's passing. He was a great friend to all. I remember Mike pumping the Amity Church Organ for Ada Doty- probably close to 70 years ago- and letting me ride on the pump handle while he worked. Fond memories of a great old time friend.
