Condolences to the Pytlarz family on the loss of Michael. Mike was a dear friend 50 years or so ago when a close group of friends from Wattsburg and Harborcreek classes of 1969 spent many special times together our senior year and beyond. Although life took us in many different directions, the great times created back then are still with us. He was always the jokester, the prankster, the funny one and the sweetest. Rest In Peace Mike. The wonderful memories of you will remain always.

A number of years ago my husband Bob & I spent many an evening at Michael's having an absolute blast. I will remember always him offering a 'beverage' and the cool way he pronounced my name. We will miss this most wonderful man.

Sincere Condolences to Michael's family and friends. I will always remember his sarcastic wit and sense of humor. The wonderful meals he would fix and those holiday surprises, he would send in the form of snacks and other goodies. He will be missed.
