Always a beer in his hand and a smile on his face...ball cap pulled down, walking at a slow, steady pace. Mike wouldn't have wanted tears for us to remember his years, just a campfire please, to remember him with ease.

So here's to you Mike, the world lost a great husband, father, friend, and neighbor - every time we cut the grass and drink our beer, we'll know you were here.

Love,

The Mindziak's
