Bitsy,
My mom recently told me about what happened to Mike. I didn't know him but it sounds like he was a wonderful person. Such a sad, sad loss. I'm so very sorry. I'll be thinking about you and your little ones.

Although it was long ago, Mike made me a better person. He pushed me to become a better wrestler which in turn, made me a better man.
Thank you Mike, God Speed.

Beth~ my mom just shared your very sad news with me. I'm so very sorry for your loss. My mom recalled how she had Mike in CCD class and she thought that he was such a cute little boy. Sending you a virtual hug.

I hold wonderful memories of Mike and his contributions to OHS athletics. Working in the office at OHS gave me 24 years of being on the inside to see Mike grow and gain the respect of his peers. Especially treasured is the memory of Mike and my son, Jason Brown, playing at Camp Randall in 1987. The scoreboard might have said OHS lost, but our guys posted a record-lasting imprint on fans of the purple and gold. Mike, you will not be forgotten.
