I knew Mike thru our interest in old trucks and our friendship went from exchanging emails to visits when we would travel to the St. Louis area. Mike was the type of person that made everyone feel welcome and he could have a conversation about anything with anyone! I will miss our occasional conversations with one awesome guy!

Many years ago when I was away at college, my parents went to Lambert to meet my flight home. As we waited for my luggage, my father struck up a conversation with a nice young man in a naval uniform. He didn't yet have a ride home to Smithton, and since we were going to rural Millstadt, we gave Mike a ride home. Our paths crossed a time or two over the next few years, and I always remembered Mike as a fine, good person. Rest in peace, Mike. My sincere condolences to your family.`
