Mike,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Ronnie, and all of your family. Your father will be remembered in our prayers, as we think of the many holidays we enjoyed his company at your house, and the interesting stories, "pretzel talk" and jokes he told.
You've been a wonderful, loving son to him, and we know that he's smiling with your mother in God's company as he remembers the loving care you gave him in this life. May God bless you, Ronnie and all your family.
With our love and prayers,
Skip and Jan

Michael and family,
It was an honor to know your father and to visit him during this decade. As a member of OMC's St. Vincent de Paul Society, I was introduced to your father and mother on one of our visits bringing a Christmas poinsettia and a homemade greeting card from the OMC school students. Your father's smile and heartfelt thanks kept me coming back time and again. We shared a love for baseball, so he introduced me to Chief Nhtahim and the Baseball Bats, and of course to some of his famous one-liner jokes "I was just a poor boy growing up....just one father and one mother."
Thank you for your support of my visits, and certainly for being the good son and keeping your father in his home as long as you did. He will remain in my prayers. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Ben and family, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I know how much you loved him, and my thoughts are with you. Wish my sincere sympathy could in some way ease your sorrows. I know you had a long way to come home but it'll bring you all together again - bringing back memories of happy times...always remember the good times - like in the wagon with the flag. Love, & God Bless JoAnn
