Good bye my past brother inlaw. May your new fishing hole be plentyful with fish as you join your mom and dad again. Many memories of fishing trips to family get togethers. You and that miners hat with the light on it casting into the dark from the dock to listening to Patsy Cline back at the cabin. You have left us some beautiful children. Not children any more yet your life here on earth will live on through them.

Dear Christopher, Jay and Katy,

Michael was a handsome, witty, loving man who defied the odds and became so much more than anyone could have imagined! I was his oldest cousin, and moved to CA a few years after his surgery, but I know how patient and persistent Mur and Bob were to coax him back to a remarkable recovery. Michael never lost his sense of humor, and even when I visited a few years ago, he bragged about his kids, joked about his overweight dog, and had only kind things to say about everyone. He was truly an inspiration.

Chris, Jay & Katy,
My personal favorite memory was watching your dad dance at your Gramma & Grampas wedding anniversary at the Chart House. He had such a great time, I can still see his smile.
I Love you

My memories of Mike is listening to my dad say how Mike loved their fishing trips. Mike would be out on the dock or in the boat in all kind of weather, early morning and late at night fishing. Another memory is how my mom always commented on how Mike was the most photogenic in our family pictures.

What fun memories my brother Jim and I have growing up, especially my brother, because he and Mike were so close in age. The family get togethers, Christmas, etc, all our aunts, cousins, our grandmother. Our family has all passed away now as Jim and I just celebrated the passing of our Dad this past August. My mom Mabel was an important figure in Mike's early life. So our thoughts, condolenses to the family, peace be with you.

I'm so sorry to hear about Mike. He was one of my favorite people when I came into Lyndale Hardware. I always made sure to look for him, and say "hello". He was a fine man. Prayers to his family.
