Mike your laugh and your sense of humor will never leave the walls of the VFW. I will miss coming in and seeing you sitting in your seat. You always said hi honey, probably because half the time you forgot my name, but I will never forget you and your endless entertaining stories. As much as you were loved you will be equally missed. RIP my friend.

we may never understand why pop left us all so soon, or why he left before we were ready to say good-bye, but as our days continue to go on, we begin to remember, not just that he died, but that he lived. And that his life gave us all memories, that anyone who ever met him, will never forget. My heart goes out to everyone in the family. I love you guys!

So many memories, from drinking to cozy corner, to softball, to fishing, to hypnotist to drinking to cuting firewood, to drinking, to VFW, to roasting a pig, to drinking, you name it and we did it. Your memories will last forever. Thanks for all the good times Mike. We love you Mike.
