Love in CHRIST JESUS,your friend, Jesse Barczynski (guitarist for Blue Static Grannie)

Michael, my cousin, I can still see you with that big smile on your face, riding your bike down 20th street. Remember the time when you lived on Pennsylvania Street and we went down to the lake to goof around. We were heading back to the house but we stopped over by the fountain on Iron Street and drank what I guess was distilled water? You got a stomach ache and kept blaming it on the “iron” water…

How bout the time you took your tape recorder apart? We had to speak really...

Dear Family of Mike Portalatin,
We are deeply sorry for the loss of Mike. Mike was a great employee of ours and will be missed, not only by our staff but by all of his paintball friends that were fortunate enough to have met him.
Mike will always be a part of our lives. Our prayers are with you.
Debby Geboy, Mike Geboy and Greg Kludt

Cousin, as I sit and remember the time we shared growing up together I have many fond memories. Mike, I will remember you as the free spirit you were. You were so carefree and always laughing. Sometimes I don't think you knew what you were laughing about but you always managed to make me laugh. I will miss the laughter we all shared as cousins, but when I laugh I will think of you.
As you stroll the grassy hills of the heavens remember to laugh with us, remember we love you,
