Dear Rita:
Chuck and I just heard of Mike's passing from Judy Hogg, as we are in Florida for the season. Always enjoyed visiting with you and Mike at the reunions. Hard to understand these events. Our thoughts and prayers are focused on you and your family. God and family will help you through. Heidy and Chuck

I called on Mike as I began my sales career in Fort Wayne. He was so very professional and I learned so much from his guidance. Notre Dame football lost their biggest fan.

I fondly recall Coach Mike from when my son played football at St. Charles. He was one of a stellar and committed group of coaches who gave their time and talent to develop young men for high school football. I often chatted with him about our mutual love of Notre Dame football. He was a good man who will be missed by all who knew him. May he rest in peace.
