Auntie Kay and family,
We are going to miss Uncle Mike.
Cliff use to look forward to his
calls. If a week went by without hearing from Uncle Mike, he use to
say, "Hey,we didn't hear from Florida." We will miss him especially at Birthday time. He was always making us older than we were.

As a fellow worker of Mike's for many years, I will always remember his mustache and great laugh. He was well appreciated by his fellow carriers. My sympathy goes out to his family.
