Mike, you are missed. You became a friend to all my brothers and my father. It was great to have you in our lives. I was in Cologne this year and remembered stories you told me of visiting the church as a child. It was a pleasure to walk in your footprints. I will say hello to you next I return to that church.

Helene, Mike's life was enriched by having you as his companion and vice versa. Our hearts and love go out to you.

Michael was a dear friend of the family. He brought me to the grand finale and taught me how to cook, how to work hard, how to play hard. His influence helped me in life. I remember so well mowing his lawn as a teenager while he and dad caught up over a coldie on the patio. About this time of year mike and the glendale gang would convene for the annual men's cookie bake. Memories of mike are treasured and he is missed. God bless Helene for your love and support of mike especially during these trying last few weeks. You were/are his everything!

Michael was a special man, I will miss him. Helene, I hope you are comforted in knowing how much he loved you and how happy you made him. You were the most important person in his life. I'm so glad you had the past twenty years together. You made them meaningful and beautiful. I hope these positive memories sustain you through the days ahead. I think he would want you to focus on them.
Debbie Kopp Conlon.

My treasured friend since I met him on his return from Vietnam. Mentored and championed our own kids and such a loving Dad to Beau. We mourn his loss and are so grateful that his loyal and loving Helene was at his side for all those years. The world needs more men like Michael B
