Betty and Mike, please accept my sincerest condolences for the loss of your dad. Mike and his fellow Slovaks in his generation were the pioneers in this country. I was honored to have your father come to my mother and dad's funerals. Please accept my salute to your father as a fellow soldier. I will miss him. I will not be able to attend the services as I now live in Nashville. Sincerely, Steven J Burican
