To the Woelbing Family,
I remember Mickey well from the years when he had a TV shop in Cotati and advertised in our weekly newspaper. He was a dear man, and my heart goes out to you.

My sincere condolences. I sold electronic parts to Mickey for many years while working at my father's store. He was always a pleasure to do business with. Brings back many fond memories.

I am sorry for your loss. I used to buy Mickey's jars of pickles years ago when I worked at Mario&Johns. I also served him when he came in at Carrows.

Aunt Nora and Family, My heart is broken again. I know he loved the Lord, that is such a comfort. Mom, his twin, was probably waiting for him as he entered the gates of heaven. You guys had a great husband and father. Great memories. We will all miss him greatly. Big hug to you all. The Lord be with you now. Love, Gwen

Hi Norma, Mike, Kathy, Eileen, Cindy, and Tim

Well, as Norma said now the two of them are together and catching up on stuff, Marie and Mick. I am glad they are together and at peace but very sad to see he isn't here with us anymore. It is hard to take for everyone, especially you guys who saw him all the time. We loved him. Much Love from us here in the east.
