Not sure what to say?

Mike, missing you. Five years have flown way too fast, but you haven´t missed much (CoronaVirus!). State Fair hasn´t been the same without your touch! Tara

I'm sure no one will recognize me but I met Mike while skating on Sundays. He liked to skate. Strange thing for a fella to do on Sundays, I thought, but seemed to enjoy it. We skated and laughed a lot together and hardly knew each other at all. Couple of times we met up at some Irish bars for a beer. What a nice man. He was always looking out for me (middle aged lady) and kids. I sure will miss him even though I have not seen him for so long. What a loss for all of us.

My memory of Mike happen to be during the High School State Basketball Tournament at the Target. As family members begin to enter the scanner to watch Minnehaha play there was Micheal ahead me was stopped and asked to empty his pockets. Well I step to the side to wait for him. Every thing he was told not allowed in the arena. He kept pulling more items that he could take in. I was surprised how much he had in all his pockets! I thought to myself if Michael was on Let's Make a Deal ...

Tony, I am so sorry to hear about the death of your father. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

So thinking of the whole family, my deepest sympathy, diane meysembourg

Where do you start. His children Molly, Megan, Tony I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. Bridgette, Bird your brother. Flo and other family members. He was a great person many many memories of Mike. (Sleeping) fixing my car, talking my ear off and laughing!!! He was taken far to soon... May he live FOREVER in your memories. My prayer for all of you. Be gentle with your selves, there is no wrong way to grieve. Love all of you!

To Mike's siblings, children, grandchildren and friends

I have a hole in my heart from Mike's passing. Mike and I have known each other for 45 years! He was always thoughtful to remember birthdays and special events. His texts were a bright spot in my day.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I wish I could be with you,
