Not sure what to say?

Hi Jean, I happened to see this while doing other research for Purdue. My sincere sympathies to you. I never knew your husband, of course, I remember you and the ten years I was with Pritsker Corporation. Wish you well...

Jean,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Please know that I am thinking about you and your family. Sending you a big "hug."

I first met Mike in 1981 when I moved to Lafayette to begin my law practice. Over the years, Mike and I became close friends.
The world will miss Mike. He was one of the most generous - giving individuals I have ever met. He certainly had a huge influence on my life. I will miss him.
May his family find peace.

I was sorry to read of Mike's passing. We were neighbors when he and his dad lived on Wa-Tip Hill at River Junction (Locals would know where that is). Mike and I were a few years apart in age, but were together frequently back then since both of our fathers were policemen.

Mike was my godfather. I have many memories of him at the river fishing and playing euchre with my parents. Whenever I would spend the night with Mary at the house on 10th St. they would always order pizza with anchovies. Those are just a few memories I will always carry with me.

I worked with Mike over the years when he was a Merit Board (LPD) member. He was as honest and forthright as anyone I've known. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, old friend.

Kevin & family,
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I know losing a parent is difficult. I lost my mom about 4 years ago.
The item that caught my eye when reading your dad's announcement is where he graduated from high school. I actually think your dad and my dad graduated in the same class from East Tipp. Totally unplanned by your dad, he was able to inspire two generations. God speed during your time of morning.

Sorry to hear about your loss Jean I will always remember him
