My condolences to the Frederick Family on Mike's passing. I worked with Mike for many years at Alderfer Glass. A talented, dedicated and loyal man, he was instrumental in launching Alderfer Glass onto the stage in the 70's. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him, and for his considerable contributions. He will be missed. Glenn Alderfer

Barb, Stephanie, and Adam. We just now heard of Mike's passing yesterday. Words cannot express our sorrow for your Husband and Father and Proud Grandfather of your children. Mike was always a friendly helpful neighbor, with words of advice on Home repairs, or everyday life. In the winter's with heavy snow, we used to help each other clear the sidewalks and garage doors. I remember when he bought the new big snow blower, it made easier work than the old days! We've been neighbor's for more...

I was so terribly saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I worked with Mike for the past few years and he always stopped by my desk to say hello. We had some good conversations about family, traveling and how good of a cook Barb was. He loved to talk about his grandchildren. Loved going to his grandsons swim meets and was so proud of him. But what we will all remember Mike for the most, was his favorite saying "it is what it is"! We will miss you Michael, rest in peace. Love Cathy Bretz

The Rhoades family is sending "hugs" to you, Barbara, Stephanie, Adam and the grandchildren. My memories include being in your wedding. Giving Michael's Christmas gifts to Michele at Aunt Ruth's and Uncle Lester's house. Also, Mike teaching me how to drive when Mom just could not. Much love, Diane
