He was a great friend and in law father to our daughter. We always enjoyed his company and the many interests we had in common. A wonderful family man. Always so proud of his children. A man who loved his wife Shelly and the long marriage they shared. He will be missed but we will have such wonderful memories to recall him. God Bless Mike Rest in Peace ✝❤
