Our condolences to Mike's family. Mike & Sherry were good friends of ours for many years. We enjoyed bowling in the mixed doubles league and, especially the annual motor home excursions (5 couples) to the Dayton bowling tournament, round-robin pinnacle games on the motor home and other mischief once we got to Dayton. Mike & Sherry, you will both be missed. Rest in peace.
