To the EHS Class of 69 Crimaldi's was " Mike's Place" and Mike was one of us. A special one of us.
Through the years Blue Blazer reunions, Celebrations of Lives, fun and games and enjoyable fellowship was a constant provided by Mike and crew that will be missed,indeed.
I believe I speak for many in saying we're all so greatful for the memories provided for the past four decades.

I have raised my boys in the house that Mike's parents built in Elkhart. Mike played ball with my boys father, Jon Borger. I am sure there is a lot of softball talk going on up in heaven now. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
