Michael was my last brother to pass away. Mike was my good friend when we were young kids and I will always miss him. God rest his sole and guide his children and grandchildren in their lives. Mike would want them to be safe and happy.

Matt, Mitch and Michelle,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad.
He was such a great guy. He always made me laugh, and gave me good advice! So many good memories spent on the lake during all those summers! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Susie
