Not sure what to say?

At church Mike was always the first one to smile at you or make you laugh! He had an infectious smile and a warm heart. Miss You Mike

Uncle Arlie was a great man and could always make you laugh. I never got to spend a lot of time with him but I enjoyed when I was with him. He loved his old cars. Rest, knowing that he is at peace and with other family members. May God give you courage as you face the days ahead without him. He will be missed.

Dear Kaskinen Family, My deepest sympathy to you. Very sorry to hear about Mike's passing. He was a dear "Corvair" buddy and will treasure all of our wonderful conversations we had.

Uncle Arlie or as Dad would always refer to him as his kid brother. Always made us laugh. He would recall their childhood memories with the gift of stories that we Kaskinen seem to have. We will all miss him dearly but we hold our memories close.

Mike's passing saddens me but what a wonderful life he lived, I will forever cherish the relationship I had. My condolences to Doris and his family and to the memory of the Chevrolet Corvair. May Mike and Ralph Nadar meet in eternal rest in heaven. Mike leaves many memories and I hope his family will take comfort in those memories.


"Uncle Arlie" was such a cool neat guy. I envied his passion and knowledge of cars. He was a link to my wonderful memories of my Kaskinen family and Kaleva. He is now in God's hands. His FAITH in the Lord gave him HOPE for everlasting life, which provides us all the PEACE to be children of God.

Mike & Lisa: we are saddened to hear of your beloved father’s passing. Your family is in our thoughts and in our hearts.

Mike and Lisa, and your whole wonderful family,
Having Mike and Nan as our neighbors was a great Blessing in our life. We won't forget our wonderful memories.
Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
Rest in Peace Mike.


Dear Kaskinen Family,

I'm deeply saddened to hear about Mike's passing. As someone who frequently visited Kaskinen Auto Supply for parts, I had the pleasure of knowing Mike's expertise and humor. His wisdom and wit, sprinkled with a touch of teasing, made every interaction memorable.

Having gone to school with his kids, I saw firsthand the kind of man Mike was – a man of honor who always spoke his mind. His legacy extends far beyond the auto parts business he...
