Mike is rememberer as the drummer at our dances. He kept the rhythm for all of us to keep in step. That's the way it is -- the important ones are always behind the sceen, but keeping the time for the rest of us.

Dear Rosie, Mike was one of the nicest people my husband, John, and I have ever known. He always made me smile and always had something positive to say. My husband, John Hall, loved him like a brother and always enjoyed playing with Mike over the years. Mike will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
God bless you, always. Your friend

Aunt Rosie sure found us a great Uncle. We all sure had some fun dancing around his drum set as he got the room hoppin! It will be hard to have him absent from our lives, but we sure will have some great memories. He started some fun when he organized the Kayser Clan Band and hopefully we can somehow keep it going! Aunt Rosie was right when she announced that she was going to marry a really fine, great guy!!!!!
