Michael John Mancl

I got to know My first cousin Mike when I stayed with his family one summer shortly after they moved to Sussex WI.
I was employed by the Soo Line Railroad at the time as station operator/clerk.Most often I did vacation relief, moving across the line as needed.
Mike`s Dad John, Uncle Jack was always in touch with my Mom Buelah, so when he found that I was staying at the YMCA in Waukesha he insisted I stay with them.I didn`t take him up on the offer this first time,so he made it very clear at one of his random visits, if I ever get back to Waukesha that I better stay with them.The Mancls can be persuasive!
Funny as fate goes it wasn`t too long that I was called back to Waukesha for another stint.I gave Uncle Jack a call and He graciously brought me into their home.
At the time the younger kids at home then were,Julie, Debbie,Jeff,Mike and Jane.I remember Aunt Earline putting together a makeshift bed in the lower level,quite comfortable.
I work from 3-11 pm so we had lots of time to check out the neighborhood,play games or just hang out.

Most of all I got to kindle a heartfelt relationship with each one of my cousins that holds dear to my heart yet today.

I`m saddened by the loss of Mike's physical life.
It's His spirit that lives on with Me

I will never forget the first time I met Mike. I was out with Jeanette and we met him at Sneakers. Mike was friendly and outgoing from that first moment. He invited us over to his place and proudly showed us pictures of his family. The next day he came to a little party at my house and brought homemade lumpia eggrolls. There are many fond memories of Mike..many involving his great cooking. Mike had a big generous heart and will be deeply missed. Condolences to all who knew and loved him.

My sympathy for the Mancl family. I really didn´t know Michael but sounds like he was a beloved man who made a difference. He was my first cousin on the Mancl side. romy and Bernice were my parents.
