My brother in-law, Mike, was truly a brother to me. He was my oldest sister Mary's husband. I've known him since I was 6 or 7 years old. What stands out from my childhood was his sense of humor, wide smile and endearing laughter. And from a 7-year-old's point of view, I really appreciated the fact that Mike's love for Pepsian item that previously was considered an occasional treathad become a regular addition to the grocery list.
My girls learned to love Uncle Mike too. He was a regular at their high school activities, cheering them on at parades and band competitions, and offering driving directions when they were lost. In the attached photo, Uncle Mike is happily standing in for the traditional Father-Daughter Dance at Lisa's wedding.

Peace and Love,
Ann

Hi Kurtzie, I will miss your dad and his very funny dry sense of humor. He was soft spoken and kind. Always ready for a fun time. He can bet at the track all he wants now. Love you and GMan..Barbie and El
