So sorry for the kids and grandkids for the time they will miss being in his company. He was so courageous fighting to live day to day after watching his father suffer thru much of the same. He said he had a good life and was happy, all because of his children and grand-children. Pain and sickness can alter a person's personality. Please remember the good times. He loved you all so. Prayers that God helps you thru this sad time.

I loved Mike just like a brother, we went to Central high but he was older. He was a good friend to my boyfriend at the time Danny Asquith. I still have a dance picture with him and his date Vicki. We pm on facebook alot and he would always talk about his family. Just last month the last I talked to him he said, " He would like to sell it all and buy a fifth wheeler and trailer and just travel". He never would talk about his health unless you asked. I will miss him he was a very honest person...RIP MIKExoxo
