Dear Uncle Mike, I am so glad I was able to attend your 80th surprise Birthday Party. When they brought you into the back room the look of surprise on your face was special. Soon you started saying Names as you spotted all of us. You were really shocked to see so many people. We all came as you have always been extra special to all of us. You had a huge cake which you cut with Aunt Carol by your side as we sang Happy Birthday to you!!! You were beaming. You came by me and we had a nice...

I will always have fond memories of my Uncle Mike, he had a way about him that made you feel welcomed n relaxed even if many years had past since we seen eachother. He had a huge heart and he showed that not only to his immediate family but to his nieces, nephew's, cousins and friends. You will surely be missed Uncle, if you perhaps see my Dad give him my love too! May God grant you eternal peace

I remember the time Uncle Mike and Aunt Carol met us in the North Woods... aka. Eagle River/ Three Lakes,WI. for some snowmobiling fun at the cabin. OH BOY, that was a Burriffic time to be had. Circa. Winter 1975. I couldn't tell who was who with the frosted helmet face shields! That was a very special memory for me! I'll miss your laugh and that mischievous smile. Time is too fleeting. I was just getting to know you. Love your nephew John. In Christ. P.S. That electric train set-up...
