Read MoreHeaven received a great American Hero, a good and gentle man. Mike was "old school" - faith, family, Country. I met him when he worked with my Dad at Firestone and I was in school with his kids. With Veronica he raised his family the Catholic, American way. His legacy lives on. I was blessed to know him and we will all miss him.

Dear Oravec Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. As you know, you have so much to be proud of in Grandpa O. He led an exemplary life. My first memory of him was from at least 30 some years ago. He and Grandma O would take me to their neighbor's backyard to see the horses, which I always loved to do. He had an amazing WWII story and I also loved that he gave up beer for Lent. He leaves behind a great legacy. We are so fortunate to have known him. With love, Carrie
