The original group - wish I had a picture of when we were young!
Stay positive and upbeat...I know that Mike would not want it any other way. He was a good guy and I think my very second friend in my life. Georgia and Luke, Sandy and Rita/Family - you are all in my prayers for comfort and understanding. Love and blessings... Kathy Karnafel Nowak

Rita, I don't have any new words to say that you haven't already heard. But Mike and all of Bruce's family have always treated me as family, and I feel the same way. I have known Mike for a long time. Way too soon to lose Mike...
Sorry I could not make it in for the wake or funeral, but I was there in heart and soul.
Sincerely, Mike Kartz

Mike brightened all our lives with his sense of humor, his kind heart and his calm demeaner,He represented his family well,and carried over his well mannered upbinging to his children. He left us too early, but he left us with some great memories, Im proud to say he was my friend.
I know I will see him again,untill then like everyone "I will miss him"
