We were so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I went to school with him at St. Isidore and then on to RHS. He and Jerry (Buff) played ball together at Redemptorist. He was a fine athelete and a fine man. Thought and prayers are with his family.

I'll never forget when I came to Redemptorist in 1972 and became friends with Mike and the gang! The gang knows who they are..... We had so many wonderful gatherings with soooo much laughter!! Michael could always pull a smile out of you! We are all lucky to have known such a great guy that will always be in our memories. Go Wolves!! God's has our "Star Athlete" now!!!

Did not know Mike other than playing ball against him growing up. Mike was one of those athletes that you never forget.

I watched Mike grow up when he was at RHS. My boys played ball with him and
we were at every game. He was a talented athlete and a lot of fun.
So sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
May God comfort you and give you peace
during this time.

I lost contact with Mike over time, but I've got a ton of memories. He was a gifted athelete, a 4 year, 4 sport letterman at RHS, although most don't know it. My class clown protege, a big heart and huge smile. He named me Lightfoot. Life deals us some dirt, Mike made a rose garden. RIP, Buddy. Hey, hit me deep.

I lost contact with Mike over the years, but I've got a ton of memories. He named me Lightfoot. Mike was my ride and class clown counterpart. We were bench cheerleaders in football. He was a tremendous athelete from grade school on, although most don't know it a 4 year, 4 sport letterman at RHS. Mike was humble, one of a kind, a big heart and huge smile. Life deals us dirt, but Mike made a rose garden. RIP, buddy. Peace out. Hit me deep, Mike!

I have great memories of Mr. Mike as a child. He was always so patient and loving with us- even when we didn't deserve it. Kristen and Diane, I love both of you and although your hearts are hurting, just know that he's visiting in heaven with my mom right now ;) Love you both.

Mike was great guy with a great sense of humor. We worked together for many years at Stupp Corporation. He was always fun to be around. My sympathies to his family and friends.

I played baseball and football with Mike. He was a very talented athlete and also a great guy who was always smiling. He was just a natural born leader that all the kids looked up too. However the thing that most impressed me about him was when I visited with him at our 15 year class reunion. He was one of the nicest people I had met in a long time. I had always just seen him as the star athlete but he had become a even better person as he got older. I will pray for your loss!

Kristen, Dianne, and Kendall,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Mr. Mike was an amazing man and a loving father and grandfather. He was always good to me and always asked about how my family was doing. He was quite a funny character and a really good cook. Please find comfort in knowing that he is in a much better place watching down on all of us and will be with you always in spirit. I love you guys!
