Michael Penning

Sorry for your lost Becky, Dave and Josh my family sends our condolences. Sorry we will not make it to the celebration of life on Saturday.

Becca our prayers and love are with you. Thank you for sharing your dad with us though memories.

I remember his smile but one memory I won't forget because he & I laughed so hard. Our kids were in school together and his daughter was upset and told her Dad she was moving to the Bogemas. Mike called me and asked who I was and what his daughter had said . I laughed and said Mike you graduated with me it Linda M. He laughed I told him she would get over whatever it was but our door was always open so the kids were safe . We talked for awhile and remembered years past he was a really good guy

He will be missed. One of my favorite memories was when he took the Fab 5 ( Becke, Aaron, David, Amy and Josh) ice fishing which he loved to do. By the time he set it up, drilled the hole and let each child fish once they were cold and tired and ready to go home but he never complained. I swear he was a saint for that. Plus we ( Harold, Jill, Mom and me) thought he was crazy. But the kids were so happy because the could say "we went ice fishing with Uncle Mike/Dad" not many could say that. ...

My sincere sympathy to your whole family! May the wonderful memories be a comfort to all. He sounds like a wonderful man and he will be missed by all of you. I did no know him but I do know many of his family members. His legacy will live on.
