Not sure what to say?

I was so sad to hear about the loss of THE BEST teacher I have ever had. As part of the class of '92, I was lucky enough to have him during three years at Naz. To this day I still tell stories of the teacher that the most influential that I was blessed to learn from. He made such an impact on all those who were fortunate enough to have him as our teacher. I know his legacy will live on through each of us as he helped formed who we all are today... To his family and friends I am so so...

We're very sory to hear of John's passing.To all the Michalak, Stefl & Rench family members we send our sinsere sympathy.

Mr. Mike was an amazing man who lit up a room when he walked in. His endless stories in the classroom made learning so much fun and easy to relate to. I will forever remember you saying "Jesus loves you and Mr. Mike does too". May you rest in peace. You were such an inspiration to me and so many others. Whenever your name is brought up I can not help but smile. Heaven is a lucky place Mr. Mike. I miss you.

To the Michalek,Rench&Stefl families- My deepest sympathy on the loss of John,who was a terrific fun loving& caring guy. I have many fond memories of John going back to our softball playing days in the 1970's in Berwyn,also the many softball tourneys he invited me to play in at Furlan's Dugout Park in Trevor WI. Also at the 14in tourney in Geneva,IL. in which John starred at 3rd base. Many good times with John at Loon Lk. He was a good man and will be missed by all. Rest in Peace buddy.

Frank, so sorry for your loss. Sounds like John was very well liked. God bless.
