So very sorry for the loss of Mike. My sons, Alex and Matt Morrissey, always spoke of how they loved spending time with Mike at the lake over summer. Gone too soon.

Still in shock over the terrible news. I enjoyed growing up at St. Ambrose and Marquette playing baseball, and an outstanding soccer player and person was Mike. He will be missed by our many friends, RIP Crutch!

Crutcher family and loved ones, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. It is not hard for me to see Mike at peace working with Steve and Clyde on the farm, only taking a break to eat more than humanly possible of his grandmother's cooking. We suffer the loss, but Mike is at peace. All my love.

So sorry for your family's loss. When I moved to Godfrey and started the 5th grade at St. Ambrose Grade School, Mike sat at the desk right next to me. He was always friendly and a very kind soul. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!
