I'll miss Mike, as over the years we did get to play golf together and he always had a witting saying after a golf shot. He always liked to walk. I'll miss him but know he is in a place he serviced for under God's direction.

Dear Getchen & Bill, Gabe & Autumn, and family,

You are in our prayers. We loved your dad and will miss his calm steadfast presence and his sense of humor. We all know where he is now and the rejoicing he must be doing. May you know the peace and presence of God as you grieve this loss.

Psalm 116:15: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants.

Much love & comfort,
Ike, Julie, Evelyn, Mary, & Anna Gruber
