what I am going to miss most about my daddy is the way he cared and bent over for me. He was the one guy i could count on 24/7. he did everything for me and my mom and brothers. he bent over backwards. he will never be replaced, i love him to death and cant wait to see him someday. my family now contains my mom, mike, joe, sue & jamie. we are a strong group and will get threw this. My dad went to peace in no pain. so i thank god for that, and now he is in heaven with my grandpa and the rest...

Mr. B was the most generous and loving man I have ever known. Whether he was helping me change a fuze when all the electricity went out and I was scared of the dark, rescuing me when my car wouldn't start and needed a jump or just because I needed a hand. He was always there and I knew he would be around when I needed help. He was the epitomy of good and will be greatly missed by all of the people whose lives he touched.

The thing I am going to miss the most about Mr B is him always picking on me, from morning to night. Him sitting in his chair with his cigarette in one hand and his Milwaukee's Best in the other. He was such a laid back, caring man. I am going to miss him so much. I love you Mr. B.

I worked with Mike for a few years. We always had a great time. Even after I left the company we would still contact each other. He was a great guy that would help anyone who needed it and will be deeply missed by me.

My favorite memory of Mr. B was when he was leaving for work. Mary would yell... "Dad's leaving!" No matter where anyone was in the house everyone would come in the living room and say "Bye dad!" If others were over they would echo, "Bye Mr. B!"
"Good Bye Mr. B", We will all miss you very much.
