Carol and family,
I'm afraid that word has just reached me of Mike's passing. Mike was a man who I deeply respected and admired. He had principal and always displayed the highest integrity. His commitment to his calling was absolute and the families of Snohomish were very fortunate to have been served by you both. My deepest condolences go out to you and the family. Mike taught me several lessons and I've remembered them all. With all my love, Arne Swanson.

I knew Mike from church and the Snohomish Fire Dept. I learned a lot from him working on his crew. Rest In Peace.

Sorry to hear of your passing, Mick. You were a great guy and always fun to be around. We had some exciting and thrilling times together at the fire department back in the day. I never could seem to beat you at dice -- I think you kept changing the rules on me. I'll miss you.

Murray and family--I'm so very sorry to hear of Mick's passing. Many Fourth of July memories on Pine Street with the two of you. Sorry I couldn't attend the service as I'm not feeling well. All the best. Blessings--Janet (Buse) Hallauer
