JoAnn and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mike. You and your family enjoyed a great life with him. When Mike and I occasionally met or talked, he always talked about you and your family. He was proud.
Mike and I first met in the mid 1960s, a very transformable time in history and in our lives. We were fraternity brothers "SAXONS" and in an environment surrounded by fraternity parties and keggers; Mike was straight forward, determined and motivated. I loved talking with him. I remember Mike as being well groomed and like the straight part in his hair, he kept me and others straight. Mike might be gone from this life, but his memory lives on.

I enjoyed speaking with Michael every month. Michael was always concerned about how I was feeling and doing. He was such a kind man and I will miss him dearly. Rest easy my friend.
