Mike and Family, my condolences on your loss. I remember your dad always being at the little league field growing up and having some old cowboy boots on. I think he helped out Mr D when Mike and I were on Federal Discount little league team. Hard working guy for sure!

Mike's smiling face will be very much missed on Saturday nights at the Carousel and the many car shows he attended with us. It was a pleasure to have known him. All the children will miss their ride in his little peddle car.
