My heart goes out to Mike's children. May you always remember the joy and light your father brought to the world. Cousin Melody, Iowa.

Where do I start as there were so many events & times of the past since 6th grade in Bettendorf together ! You will always be in my thoughts - so much laughter & great times, I lost a great friend !I could never forget ! As all the troubles in our world - I know the good Lord needs you up there !

We had a lot of good times through the years. Thank you for all you did to make the world a better place for us all.

Mike helped care for my mom when she was in the Mary Conrad Center. It was so nice to see a friendly face from Girdwood when we went to visit her. He was so sweet and caring with her and the other residents. My condolences and best wishes to Mike's family.
