Mike was a wonderful person. My husband and I met him a couple of years ago and when he found out my granddaughter was interested in history he gave us a tour of the Museum Center. We will never forget his kindness or his smiling face. Our prayers are with you.

Our sincere condolences to Mike's family. We knew Mike and Rita through Old St. Mary's Church and know how passionate they both were about its history and of the many groups he escorted through the building. We will miss his smile and wonderful sense of humor. Our prayers go up for his immortal soul, along with all of you for comfort. Lori has been a constant in our daily prayers for her vocation in Italy. - Franz and Marge Wilke (OSM parishioners)

What a sweet man. Had the opportunity to work with him last spring at the Museum Center and he was a delight. I am sorry for your loss.
