Sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Although I hadn't seen him in many years, as I had moved to Texas in 1988, I've thought of him and attempted to locate him recently. I have many good memories of the good times that we had when we worked at Dick Brothers' Bakery.

Our deepest sympathies to you Sue and your family. So shocked to hear about Mike.
Will always remember the summer trips to our cabin next to yours, and BJ Krista and Michael having so much fun, while we all vacationed together.
Will miss Mike on our visits, but look forward to seeing you and your family soon.
