Michael E. Okraska

The Simlick girls are sorry to hear about your loss and Bruce also. I recall many times our parents brought us over and your mom would invite us to dinner. We were practally family it seemed then. But we have all spread out and loss contact. God bless you all. Barbara Stavens and Sisters

Mike, I will miss you tremendously. I enjoyed all our years flying our models at NCRCC and working with you for many years at the club auction. To Mikes family, my deepest condolances to yo all. Mike was a master model builder and his love for modeling showed in his R/C aircraft. He was a true friend and I shall miss him too.

dear miss Judy and family, I am so sorry for your loss. not only you but America has lost a good man. I had the pleasure of working with Mike @ Baran Institute. He was the best.

Judy & Family - I am so very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I'll always remember him fondly for his kindness (he used to move my car at DTI when the lawn service was around so it wouldn't get scratched, he'd scrape the car windows if we had a snowstorm & even warm it up for me before I had to leave for the day!!) May he rest in peace!

I met Mike through a mutual hobby of flying radio control airplanes and soon found out he was a very generous and giving person who always thought to help others. I used to call him "Dr. Airplane" because people who had problems with their airplanes would bring those models to him and he would gladly repair them. He will be sadly missed by many of the people in the radio controlled model community and myself, included.
