Carol and family,
So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was our SYSCO representative for many years. Mike was always so friendly and helpful. We will miss him. I didn't realize that he went to NHS and graduated with my sister Sharon. Also, if you are the Carol Creyer who is the daughter of Betty and Bob Creyer, then we all went to the same church together and I was friends with Barb and Nancy. What a small world! My maiden name was Keltz.
