Mike, our dad and grand-dad, was gentle and strong and loved his family above all else. He loved to read and learn and work hard. He taught us to be grateful and help others, be honest, and say our prayers. He loved basketball, golf, running marathons, fishing, chopping wood, and rolling dice. He loved to see his family grow and succeed. Thanks for showing us the way. We love you and we will miss you.
