Will truly miss a really good and close friend. Always will remember our times on "the deck" at LLB. I'm touching you now, Mike, so its your turn to buy. I'm sure you were there in spirit last Thursday evening when I drank a Bud Light for you and a Miller Light for me in my Lanai. Playing in this year's Moose International Golf Tournament won't be the same. Miss you terribly, Buddy! John

Bonnie, we are so sorry for the loss of your best friend and devoted husband. Look out Heaven cause you're gonna get one heck of a guy with a great sense of humor. We will pray for Mike's soul and for you as you journey though without Mike ... a time that came all too soon. Donna
