They moved to Fort Wayne, where they raised their three sons. Mike worked at NIPSCO for nearly 25 years. Mike and Sonja moved to Arizona in 1992 where Mike and his partner Chuck formed C & M Gas Products. He retired from C & M two years ago because of his illness.

Dear Sonja,

My condolences to you and your family for Mike's passing.

I haven't seen Mike in years, but I have many fond memories from our days at St. Charles School & Peru High School.

Mike and I used to caddy and travel with his father and Bob Mills to different Pro-Ams around the state, he caddying for Bob and me for his father, George.

The most special memories are from those hours playing pool at the Smoke House and those fun years playing high school golf.

I always considered Mike a good friend from those years growing up in Peru.

Once again my sympathy to you and your family.

Regards,

John Hettwer

One of my favorite memories of my Mr Redmon was the first time that we played golf together. He had about 155 yards to the second hole at McCormick Ranch and he hit a shot that took one bounce on the green, hit the pin and stopped 15 feet from the hole. I turned to Mr Redmon and said "nice shot". He answers back "not bad for me". I laughed and little did I know that this was one of his favorite sayings. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Redmon family.
